Quote: Perry Nium @ October 7 2008, 8:07 PM BSTHow do you explain Jim Davidson's success then?
He bloody amuses me.
God knows why.
Quote: Griff @ October 7 2008, 8:07 PM BSTIt is not the BBC's job to encourage new talent, or to create job opportunities for writers.
It's their job to create TV shows that people like. How they go about it is up to them.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ October 7 2008, 8:00 PM BSTI will really never understand the view that because someone may be an aspiring writer, that they will therefore damn a show because of jealosy. I have never, not once, taken that into consideration when saying what I thought of a programme; my only criteria is whether I actually enjoyed it or not. I don't slag it off more just beacuse no ones bought my script and I think I can do better! Maybe some on here do, but I would find that a frankly bizarre way of behaving.
Prezunctly.
Aaron please take note.
I don't think Aaron's accusing you personally of being jealous, Stott.

That's the funniest thing I've read all day. Even better if you asked if the stick had fallen out of his arse.

Are you bitter and jealous of his success and the millions he has made....? 
...and lost.

Same reason the BNP do?
Quote: zooo @ October 7 2008, 8:01 PM BSTThe people that do that probably have no idea that's why they're doing it.
(Not that I'm suggesting that describes you Stott.)
Leave Matt alone. You just don't realise that you're suggesting it describes Matt!
I don't really agree the BBC have kicked away any ladders - and even if they have you just find another way in, like nipping round the back and smashing the kitchen window, to use a strange burglary analogy. The fact is that if your stuff's good and you keep on mithering people, you'll eventually see your stuff on telly. It's that simple. It's all a question of how much you're prepared to put in before you give up.

Quite possibly. I think perhaps I'm just amused at how cutting some of the material is, rather than the material itself. The shock factor has always quite amused me.
LOL/Praise from Perry & Bussell. This IS a great day. *retires from thread happily*

The day I'll laugh at Jim is the day he dies of some sort of sexually transmitted disease.
Quote: Nil Putters @ October 7 2008, 8:03 PM BSTDoes he write that then?
No, he just champions it a lot. He may be involved with the production of it, but I'm not sure.

Exactly, you just have to keep on going. And there's still tons of stuff on the BBC everyday; all those writers got in somehow.
