I think the problem with writersroom responses is that they're not professional script reports, they just forward you some of the comments that the person who read it made. That's why they can sometimes seem contradictory or frustratingly vague. Congrats on the response, though. The last thing I sent them was returned within four weeks with a crisp thanks but no thanks.
Four weeks?! Well done. My 'thanks but no thanks' took three months...

I think they've introduced a Zero Tolerance Policy on no-hope duffers like me.

Four months? Three weeks? That's nothing. Whenever I walked down to the post box there was always a Writers' Room script reader waiting to hand it straight back to me, unopened. The last straw came when I caught them in the computer room deleting my latest script.

Yeah there is..submit it!!
I sent mine of about three and half weeks ago and got an A4 feedback letter from the reader...musta have just got lucky.
I still think it's a bit naughty for the decision on all our hard work to be made by someone who doesn't even make programmes.
I bet half of the stuff knocked back by these people would probably have got a better response had it got to someone in production.
I love most of the stuff that the BBC has done over the years but lately I have been shocked at some of the stuff that has been greenlit.
Little Miss Jocelyn may be the singularly unfunny thing I have ever seen. I know it's a sketch show but the writing is non existant. The script must just state that talking loudly in various West Indian voices is hilarious.
For every Peep Show there's a Scallywagga!!!
We live in hope
