There are loads of great blogs out there, particularly by people who are writing for TV.
A blog by Marc Blake? Page 2
I have e-mailed Marc to get his views on my thread.
Seriously, hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes at BSG, but just thought as I had his e-mail address, I would pop one across to see if he had any thoughts.
He might really not be interested anyway.

The best solution. I'm not sure if we need a blog, but his course and book are certainly things people have found helpful here. I know I have.
Also if he has a book and a course I'm not sure how much he'd want to give away in a blog.
Hopefully he'll come and give us his views on a blog.
Hi All. As regards my name, ask my mum about that one.....
As regards blog - sorry, but no time, what with having five jobs, gigging round the country and trying to sell my own writing as well. THe script consultancy takes five/six hours per script so time is limited....
Courses at City are doing well. Sitcom on MOndays are about to create their own sitcom in two teams of seven.
Writing comedy on Tuesdays are vying with all those on wednesday to see who really is the funnier.
Thursdays in Chelsea is what you might expect.
I am also teaching NanoWriMo (write a novel in a month) AND writing one myself so...
hang on, best get back to it......
Mark (that sound better?)

LOL when I saw your name in the writers area I thought you had joined the dark side, but really you were just pruning. 
BTW Marc's Helmut is very funny - Ooh matron.
Hmm. I replied earlier. Don;t know why its not up. Marc with a c
Ah, so it is

Why? Seriously. Why?
Quite right Tim. Don't know what I was thinking of.

Do you not think too much of Mr. Jacob's blogs?

It's best if Tim never speaks. Ever.
Tim!
You're not at it again, are you?

I hope Tim does make it, because there will be a lovely comedy moment one day when he ends up somehow stood in a room with all these people! He'll probably explode! Or kill them all.
