Oh well - when I'm rich and famous I'll help out those who didn't get a response.

By the way - good luck and well done to all those who have!

I think I'm shit. So do they. I'm going to cut my genitals off and send them to Angel Eye.

Bad news is that Wildjesusfishkids is currently in intensive care but the good news is that Angel Eye have comissioned his genitals for a six episode series.

Yeah, it's called "Bollocks" the adventures of a bitter and twisted fortysomething twat who thought he was funny. Sorry I'm a bit pissed and effed off.

Quick, get me some class a's

<avoids wild swinging arms of WJFK>

They want to see some more of mine too. Woohoo!

Commisserations to those who didn't get a reply.

Well done guys. It confirms what I already knew: that there IS talent on these boards.

The Slaggs didn't make it but the only sour grapes are the red wine I'll be drinking later .. along with 500 aspirin. And the consolation is that I'm in great company amongst the non-runners' up.

Well your genitals certainly have potential, they're packed with it

Well done to all those who were contacted!
So what happens now then? You send in more sketches ... then what?
Have they given you any more information?

Pat on the back to all who heard more. And for the rest of us, we've just gotta keep trying.

I have. They said they might be interested and gave me a new brief to work to.

My pizza-delivery mate also got the above response... he's going to try Chinese instead...

And lest I forget... can the title of this thread be corrected? Irony abound, I reckon... ;)

Apparently we send in more sketches working to this new brief by 5pm Friday. Then wait and hope again I suppose

Me too Tom. Exciting I s'pose!

Just had an e-mail back about the sketches i submitted for their brief. Ive got ten pieces in the YES and MAYBE (if you fiddle with them a bit) piles, which Im pretty over the moon with. Theyve asked me to re-write some, and to also send some more new stuff; so Im one happy chappy at the moment. Obviously doesnt mean anything will end up in the finished show, as they said in an e-mail to me, they will be recording around forty percent more than actually gets into the broadcast shows. Anyway, ill let you know if anything transpires. Anyone else who got asked to submit heard anything more yet?

Well done Matthew and all those that have been asked to submit more stuff.

I've just spotted this thread and didn't even see the original so never entered the flamin' thing.

Looks like I'd better hang up my "eagle eyes" badge.

DOH!!!

Is this the second email that was sent out a few weeks ago or is it a third new email? If it is then, congratulations Mathew, but it also means I haven't made it any further. :(

Its a new one, but it doesnt mean you havent made it any further, they might just not have got to yours yet! Dont be so pessimistic!! Keep the faith! And so on.
