CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM MEETS FRASIER MEETS WOODY ALLEN

David Schneider in interview:

"I'm going to write a Frasier-type sitcom set in Islington. An Isling-com. Very PC, ridiculously right-on, Fair Trade-anistas. 'We can't have black bin bags because it's racist' - which is the world that I live in. So, I just want to write something that's uncompromisingly bright and funny.

"I think it'll be a BBC4 show, going on to BBC2, like Armando's Thick of It project. I'll star, and it'll sort of be like Curb Your Enthusiasm meets Frasier meets Woody Allen - very verbal."
