Quote: StephenM @ 19th June 2015, 11:34 AM BSTThey said in my e-mail over 1000 sketches were submitted - that's more than the average Newsjack week! From the T&C and e-mail 120 were in the longlist and 24 made it through to the producers. Alas they didn't say how many were in the shortlist but somewhere between those two numbers!
Good spot! Didn't see that long list number. I'm very happy to have made the shortlist in that case.
Those Ts&Cs also say:
"If a selected entrant cannot be contacted after reasonable attempts have been made to do so, the BBC reserves the right to offer a place on the shortlist to the next best entry."
So time to kidnap a few of the 24. In a nice way
