Looks like the Sitcom Trials has been postponed until the New Year - circumstances beyond Simon and Declan's control, it seems. Don't know any more details than that...

I knew it, we've been conned. They're taken our scripts and gone to live in the Bahamas!

More wind-ups or for realsies?
I emailed Simon all ye wimps and it is true, the trials will be in the New year.
No other info.
Yes, it's true. It may be a cliche but the postponement has been entirely due to 'circumstances beyond our control.'
The Leicester Square Theatre is such a prime comedy venue that rather than do the Trials as scheduled somewhere else, we'd rather do them there early in the new year.
The upside is that writers will have more time for rewrites, directors more time to rehearse and we'll have more time to let industry know that we're there.
We've contacted the 16 winning writers to tell them about this, and the universal response has been 'phew, I've got more time to get it right.'
We need to sort out a few more details before we release the names of the winning writers, but as soon as we can we'll post them here and on the website.
Thanks for your patience,
Simon and Declan
So.... any of us make the final 16? I know I didn't.
Me neither. With either script.
