Just noticed from their website that Baby Cow are no longer accepting unsolicited scripts. Not sure how this effects the ones they already have. Hopefully it means John will have more time to read and enjoy them all.

The straw that broke the Baby Cow back
It's been mentioned elsewhere on this site, but yes they have. Or at least they have for the time being, once they get past the backlog perhaps they'll consider opening up again.
I feel partly to blame; they have three of mine at the moment.

So any wannabe writers please direct all hate PMs Norton-wards!
I'm just thanking my lucky stars I got in whilst they were still accepting scripts.
Two of them were shit, mind.
If anything, you should thank me for making you look good.
Did they accept emailed scripts, or was it only hard copies?
Yeah, they accepted email submissions.
I submitted something a few months back, so I guess it'll be a while before I hear back.
Does anyone know of any other Production Companies that accept unsolicited scripts?
From the look of things, not many anymore. 
It stands to reason (unfortunately) that the more successful a prod. company becomes, the more scripts it will receive and the less time/inclination it will have to read new writers.
The way around this is to try and get a contact within the organisation. This requires some talent, mixed with chutzpah and a lot of luck. Via a kindly script evaluation a year and a half ago, a piece of my work was passed on to someone in the comedy department at a really big production company. We built up a relationship, with him always willing to read my work. Tomorrow I'm up there for a meeting with one of the heads of Comedy, thanks to this contact continuing to take an interest and monitor my progress (and pass on my scripts to this person). I have an agent now, who makes getting me noticed easier. But I wouldn't have got an agent without making other contacts along the way.
I think, unless you're incredibly talented and incredibly lucky, as a unknown comedy writer you have to look at the first phase of your career in terms of a 5 year plan. Even if you're a good writer, your name needs to get around; and people want to see that you can write more than just one funny script before they'll trust you with their money and reputation.
