Life of Tim competition

15 June 2009 Rob Buckley Competitions, UK TV, US TV 3 Comments

At 10pm on Tuesdays, Virgin 1 are showing HBO’s new animated comedy Life of Tim, created by Steve Dildarian, a former host of Saturday Night Live and the man behind the Budweiser lizards. According to the press release:

"Tim’s an everyday, nice, working guy who can’t help but get himself into the worst situations. No matter the situation, life’s little challenges always manage to demand the most offensive solutions, which wouldn’t be such a problem if he weren’t continually caught red-handed".

To get people watchingcelebrate the launch of the show, they’ve launched a sketching tool that enables you to create animated sketches featuring Tim and the other characters of the show.

The reason I mention any of this is: sketch creators will also get the chance to win a Sony Bravia 32" TV, signed animation cells from the show and the chance to have their sketched shown on the Virgin1 website. So it’s worth a punt, basically.

Here’s a clip from the show, so you can see what it’s like.
