HowNOT to write Sitcom NORTH Page 3

Anyone else here going to the London one on 2 May?

Def.

I have had a TV drama produced that got 9 million viewers

Good ratings there. Which drama was it? Might be something I watched.

If someone could get together a group I am happy to do it.

I can play rhythm guitar if that helps, but a limited number of chords. Acoustic or electirc, and I have a 12 string if we want to go the folksy route.

Dear all: - here are some TESTIMONIALS from the first How NOT to write a sitcom course:

"Marc provides a friendly and informative day of training which will give me plenty of help in making my scripts better."
"I felt feeling I had learned a lot. Loads of valuable information"
"Marc is friendly and approachable, a great communicator."
"For a beginner this course is very insightful. It gave me the encouragement and enthusiasm to continue to improve my scripts."
"I signed up for the course not knowing much about sitcom writing and with no experience. I felt I learned a huge amount, all of it taught by Marc with patience, humour and friendliness."
"Very good at nailing the overall vision"
"Excellent. There is no substitute for group work and Marc holds this together from the front."
"A fun day – especially for those who are happy to laugh at their own mistakes."
"Marc was very helpful in broadening my awareness and in making me realise the more strategic and business aspects of sitcom."
"Great for the opportunity to share ideas, work on scripts and learn from each other under Marc's guidance."

There are still places on the Manchester course so do get in touch if you're interested. marcgblake@htomail.co.uk

I did a course by Marc last November. It was useful. I came out motivated, full of ideas, ready to have a go at another sitcom.

So I recommend him.

If you're a bit stuck with your work, you might just get an idea to spark it back on track. Time's a ticking, I need all the help I can get to make my sitcoms as good as they can be right now.
