Dead At 30
“Dead At Thirty” was commissioned as one of five sitcom pilots by Channel 4 in 1991, in a series called “Bunch Of Five”.
Written by Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson, it was a pure and simple flatshare comedy. Most notably, it was the show where Paul & Charlie met Mark Williams, later to become a stalwart of The Fast Show.
The show aired in Summer 1992, but didn’t go to series, alas, although the series scripts (which were written) were extremely funny...
