Scheduled broadcast:
11-12 pm based on  location in UK.

Sitcom codes and conventions:

The running joke, which is a reoccurring joke throughout the episode or series.

The comic trap, of which the entire show is based around. It is the situation which links the characters together which they cannot escape from otherwise the humour would be lost.

The one-liner, a joke made within a single sentence that has relevance to an event that has just occurred.

Car share is an example of situational comedy, a sitcom. Unlike a sketch show, sitcoms feature the same cast throughout the series, with a few changes based on storyline.
