British sitcom Meet the Adebanjos is an example of how, in 2012, a show can get off the ground without a UK commissioner. Meet the Adebanjos was made with money raised by a former city trader from Croydon. It started out on YouTube, went to DVD and has been sold internationally. In the last few weeks, it has become South Africa’s third most popular comedy. The audience for the sitcom about a Nigerian family living in London doubled to 1.4 million after the first week on South Africa’s SABC2.
