BBC Three is moving exclusively online in the not-too-distant future, but in truth the channel has been edging that way for some time.
Now in its fourth year, BBC Comedy Feeds has served up regular batches of pilots on the web to give exposure to new talent, with several shows eventually being picked up as full BBC Three series.
First screened at the BBC Salford Sitcom Showcase 2015 in May, Fishbowl is launched on BBC iPlayer this Monday (July 13).
It's been described by its creators as "a warm-hearted comedy about the suffocating joy of hanging out with your parents in a lovely little town where escape is impossible and there's usually chips for tea".
Fishbowl stars Katherine Rose Morley as Hattie, a girl who is forced to return home to mum and dad after an eventful first term at university.
"I absolutely loved playing Hattie. She is fierce, outspoken, yet she...

"We've been delighted by how much audiences have enjoyed Dan and Hannah's horrendous and hilarious antics - as played so brilliantly by Tom and Charlotte," said executive producer Simon Wilson.
"We're thrilled the BBC are giving us another chance to unleash the calamitous duo on a whole new set of victims."
Chris Sussman, Comedy Commissioner, added: "Siblings is horrible and brilliant at the same time. Each episode is like a mini-movie, with Dan and Hannah finding new and terrible ways to ruin other people's lives. I can't wait to see what mischief the writers cook up for series two.

Fresh Meat star Charlotte Ritchie has landed the lead role in a new sitcom.
Ritchie - who currently stars as Oregon Shawcross in the Channel 4 comedy - has signed up to play Hannah in new BBC Three project Siblings.
Hannah and her brother Dan (Tom Stourton) are described as "a pair of obnoxious, lazy, self-centred, underachieving, incompetent and occasionally depraved siblings who cause chaos and disaster wherever they go".
Penned by Fresh Meat writer Keith Akushie, the six-part comedy is directed by Pramface's Dan Zeff and executive produced by Drifters's Simon Wilson.
Wilson said: "We couldn't have wished for two more brilliantly gifted comic performers than Charlotte and Tom to bring Keith Akushie's hilarious creations to life."
BBC commissioning executive Chris Sussman added: "The cast are brilliant. The scripts are very funny. The director is great. I couldn't be more excited about this project."
