Friends, Romans and countrymen. Lend me your ears. :P

Yeah, but the one that got in was an old sketch of mine. Something I didn't actually think was that funny.

No wonder nuffin' got in.
Look at all those "cast" sketches!! :O

Why don't they stick to what they're good at and leave the writing to us!! :P

BTW.... I never even got the forkin' Running Order. :(
Maybe they unsubscribed me.

the cast versus writers question is an old chestnut that rears its ugly head from time to time.
the argument tends to run along the lines of "we're the writers we should write the show".
the performers counter to this is " we perform the show and we have first hand experience of what makes an audience laugh".
its a dilemma because both points of view have some merit,
and as griff says many performers are first rate writers.
The sad part is, over the years, i have seen some very good writers leave the show because of this.
personally, i think as long as the show maintains its standard it doesn't matter who writes it.
Over to you sootyj
was the show up to standard?

I have seen better, and a lot of repetition.

A good script editor gathers the best from every one.

Some performers like JBowis, and JBurton are expetional writers in my view.

Some are not as good.

Cuh! Not my Madonna song anyway.

*Bows down before Mikey J*

Filth.

Bows, not kneels!

Well done Mikey!! Managed to hit the mark with one at least.

Wish they shared your taste more though, as "Move Over Darling" didn't get anywhere. Bah :(

The Queen sketch must must get in next week. Was quality!

Unlucky others. Can't believe they didn't use your Plastic Surgeon one, Graham.

Good luck with Treason

Whatevs.

Talk to the hand.

Mikey, tell her!

Having just got 3 in Treason I declare my self PrimeMinister of BSG sketch show success land.

Yay! Congratulations!

Sootyj's back on the block.

What were they?

Assassins (I think that's a joint credit), Doomed and Blue Jihad2.

My sketches have the best titles ever.

Are they sitting in Critique?

Yacob Wingnut also had one in. Any one else have nay offerings to the mighty Treason?

Which was a cracking show tonight.
