Nope - was thinking they might be having a break since rehearsals for the next show don't start till next week or so. But tried to send something this week and noticed the return confirmation email wasn't being sent. Was going to give it a couple of days and then email to check.

They're dangling us all on strings.

And we love it.

Are we still being dangled?
Or have I just not received the running order from last weekend?

Ah ok.
Maybe it's entirely cast-written this time and they don't want to tell us. :P

Maybe there stuck in crisis meetings since I and at least one other writer went on a break.
For me it's protest against satire. Barrach Obama is so amazing there is no more need for satire ever.

There's a sketch there in itself! Sooty's famous satirical anti-satire sketch; it'll live on in NR legend!

Anyone hear anything more about this?

Ah ok.
Maybe it's entirely cast-written this time and they don't want to tell us. :P

It turns out it is entirely Mikey J written.

Not in this time... :(

Really must submit more than one gag a quarter

:( Nor me - and I did send more than 1 :( :(

Ah well, there go more wasted songs. And outperformed by yet another namesake.

Also well done Mikey, monopolising the bloomin' show this month. And ANOTHER Gordon Ramsay sketch :P

What I don't get is I finally received the running order last time, but this time back to not :(

See Griff you stop writing for them and they stop loving you, I didn't get it either.

Mikeyj you've made us irrelevant I hope you're ruddy proud of yourself!

I feel like that old dog that gets rained on in the garden in the RSPCA advert. Maybe there should be a charity for people like us
