Yes I have but it will be one of the later episodes Episode 18 and I write better then I type.

Just one pedantic question.
Did you submit the script in longhand?

Ah... but you dont know the difference between 'then' and 'than' though...

Which all goes to show you can't believe all you read.

I think there are a few people out there hoping to publish Henry Root-style accounts of their forum discussions.

I wasn't really aware of Jake How, apart from him signing me up this website without my permission, so I honestly thought he was writing for Waterloo Road.

Then I read everyone's comments.

Then I read his teaser script.

Then I laughed.

That's more than my teaser scripts get. Keep with it JH!

BTW I wouldn't belittle JH's claim, I once went to Ricky Gervais's Politics stand-up and so he let me write all of Extras - it can happen like that.

okay so we seem to have changed the topic. thanks for the advice on the first page :)

Sorry, Zuhaib.
You may even get some more serious answers if you are extremely patient. :)

I think it's what known as a teaser... I hope Jake hasn't broken any writers agreements, he's signed, by publishing on the web...

Well, it depends how you look at it.

If you look at it factually - then no.
