My Main Character

Rhys Turner - my main character - is the whole basis of my sitcom.

Each episode will not only involve Rhys, but it will revolve around him, as though the viewers are being invited into his life.

This is similar to sitcoms such as ‘Hancock’s Half Hour’, in which Tony Hancock is integral, and ‘Keeping Up Appearances’, in which the viewers are invited into the world of Hyacinth Bucket. 

This differs from many sitcoms, such as ‘M*A*S*H’, ‘Friends’, ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and ‘Dad’s Army’, in the way that all of these sitcoms revolve around a group of people, and episodes can be focussed on any one of the multiple characters.

I think that this sets it apart slightly, and will make the series easy to follow. However, if this were to become a series, it may become difficult to always have Rhys as the centre of attention. 

Therefore, I have compiled a list of idiosyncrasies and personality points to add depth to the character –

·        20 years old

·        Nerdy

·        YouTuber (New)

·        Welsh

·        University student

·        Media student

·        Lives in halls

·        Sometimes lazy

·        Wants to live the ‘perfect student life’

·        Shy

·        Wants nothing more than to be heard

Loves –

·        Star Wars

·        Scripting

Hates –

·        Incorrect grammar

·        Incomplete sentences

·        Not being listened to

·        Not being able to express himself

And this is only the basic version of an extensive list.
