Up to 20 Life Lessons sketches to be commissioned
The BBC has revealed more details of its Laugh Lessons initiative to make more short comedy films.
Commissioners will order up to 20 sketches aimed at 16-24 year olds as part of its Laugh Lesson strand.
The Corporation said: ‘Topics we’re interested in include areas such as climate change, love and dating, politics, health, sexuality and sexual identity, living situations, friendship, holidays, family, school, university, jobs and money. We want to see boldness and innovation in the execution.’
Plans for the series, to air on iPlayer, were announced earlier this week as the BBC revealed it was launching a Comedy Association to nurture grassroots talents.
