Some people on this site are graduates in comedy others are in primary school, but surely All ought to be encouraged?

Yeah, I agree. People write for all kind of different reasons and the opposite of encouraging people is just wrong. Don't give people false expectations is maybe all.

I agree also, as I am in agreeable mood today, with the poster who said the format makes it tricky. I lke to read a script that looks like a script and thats hard to do here - maybe the new site will have a different way of posting - like scriptreader.

I draw the line also at joining a Russel Brand website in order to read a script. That is also just wrong. :)

Although not that hard - the effort required to go through a script and format it so it looks ok on the forum is .0000001% of the effort needed to get something on TV so to cut corners on that just shouts lazy to me...sames as typos, make them in a normal post but not when you are asking for critique on what you've written. It just looks like you cant be arsed to go through your own stuff but expect us to.

The current sitcom script in critique is a fine example, reads like a CIA code instead of a proper script.
