You're all used to get rejection letters and now suddenly ALL of you are getting a positive response from this company.
Call me cynical if you like but.......
I think thats obvious to everyone, I don't think we all think we've cracked it. We're just letting people know what happens, which is how we found out that we're getting the same reply in the first place. Its better than getting no response at all.
Yeah I think the emails are all relatively the same, heres what mine said:
Hi Martin,
Thanks for getting in touch - really enjoyed your sketches.
I have added them to our possibilities and will be in touch in due course should we decide we'd like to use any of them. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to send any other ideas you might have.. the more 'silly' or bizarre the better!
Many thanks,
Charlotte
Yeah, they are all the same. What I think is nice though is that they are different enough to let as know there's a real person on the end who has actually read what we have written and replied herself. They could have just set up an automated response.

True, credit to them for that.

It's always good to hear a reply, mine was:
'I have added your sketches to our batch for consideration and will be in touch in due course should we decide we'd like to use any of them in the show.'
Which ultimately doesn't sound promising but I did receive it within a couple of days, so I'm now working on a few more sketches to send before the deadline.
Sorry - I didn't mean to be a pessimist - good luck to you all.
When you're established put in a good word for me - or not as the case may be.

We'll add you to our batch of possibilities
I got the following email today
Hello,
Thank you for your submission to our sketch show.
We are now in the process of reading and discussing all scripts and will be in touch in due course should be feel your brand of comedy fits the bill.
While we aim to respond to everyone, the volume of material we receive means that this is not always possible. If this is the case, it does not mean your work went unnoticed! We would like to assure you that every submission is given due consideration and in addition, your details added to our database in order that you can be alerted to any similar requests/updates in the future.
Best wishes and thanks again!
Charlotte
Didn't realise it was a sketch show. I reckon a sketch show is much easier to do because you don't have to focus on the characters just the funny.
I just received that email as well. I don't think I submitted anything though? I just emailed my website. Do'h, I hope there's more chances along the way.
I got the same reply too!
A friend of mine said he got the same reply... and he was just delivering the pizza!

That really hurts Darren. I'm off to cry 
I emailed the transformers today with a new idea for a form they could take the email that came back read something like this.
Dear (NAME:VARIABLE)
Thank you for emailing the auto bots unfortunately due to a high volume of emails after our article in robot wars we cannot give you personal feedback but you are in our database if we need a new series and the tape deck transformer is busy.
Yours
