Got a Holiday themed sketch done and dusted . Enemies looks a harder one . Will keep trying to think of something .

Got an Enemies one written and submitted . The weakest one so far so if they use anything it'll be that one .

I have to stop talking about Madonna. I need a holiday. Celebrate.

I can't remember the last time I submitted anything for a BBC show - probably the 2525 thing they did back in 2013ish - but I've sent three in for this so far.

Maybe I'll finally get that BBC credit I crave, then I can retire from comedy writing once again.

Got a 2 minute sketch on that back then , my first and last "success" at getting onto the BBC radio . Fingers crossed for this but expecting nothing .

Why do you always put a space before a punctuation mark?

Why are you so pedantic ?

Late and Party . Final 2 thankfully .

Final 2 done and dusted . Can rest until next January .

Glad that's over.

They've just released a sample script from S3 where Sailor is Sailer in the first sketch . So much for typhoos ... I mean typos .

Good cast for the new series , the guy out of Stath Lets Flats , woman from H. Histories and Dame Charlotte Ritchie from umpteen shows . Fingers crossed they say some of my lines , hopefully in the right order .

First show was last night. Did anybody get anything on? Nothing for me

Zilch too . As it was one of the worst ones I submitted I'm not surprised . Onwards and downwards .

I didn't get anything on, so was disappointed even if it did feel like business as usual. But then I realised they went with Secrets (which I didn't submit anything for) as episode one and not Help (which is next week).

Quite a short list of writers for this episode, so looks like competition to get on will be fierce.
