For those people who may not be able to attend, would there be a right-up on the days events?

Right-up where?

Oops, I mean a summary of the days events Matthew.

That's going to disappoint Matt, I just know it.

I also agree with Dan's points. 'Where do I go from here?' advice is probably the single most useful thing for those of us who have had a couple of sketches broadcast but don't have good contacts in the right places.

The other additional thing I'd like to see is (as I've said on the separate thread about possible new sections of this site) examples of rewrites and why they were done. On a similar vein, could go through some not-that-great broadcast sketches and have presenter talk through why they were good but why they weren't quite great. Dave Cohen did this on a course I went on and was very helpful. Often courses do this for sketches the attendees write, but that's not as good as presenter (understandably) not generally willing to put the boot in where needed!

I'd like to attend, but I could only do a pilot in 2009 as no free weekends between now and Xmas.

Ooooh, this sounds good. Keep up the brilliant work!

Thanks for the continued feedback. Just to update everyone on this, the point that has been made about December perhaps being too early for the pilot has been taken on board, so the pilot will now be arranged for Jan/Feb. More info after Christmas...

Cool, cheers Mark. Thank Adam too.

Good call, Mark.

1. Yes I will go anytime.
2. Hmmm topics all things you shouldn't do...
3. £50 is fine with me
4. Yes I would attend and day of the week doesn't bother me, as long as it's not 25th December.

Cheers - Thomas.

Hi Mark

New Year is definitely better for me. I'll have to see how my cash situation's going before committing to going though.

Come on Bussell surely it's time for you to sell your talents like so much cheap wine?
