Can't see any complaints. I guess some folk can come up with a masterpiece in two months and some need a little longer!

I haven't got a script, but to be honest Gatiss and Fry would put me off - as well as Julie Gardner. Two gay men and a lesbian, all associated in some way with the supernatural or sci-fi. Can you imagine what kind of scripts they're going to get? 
Only a more seriou note, Gatiss is a good writer but he's a parodist rather than a novelist - and he certainly isn't a noted screenwriter. Fry is one of the most over-exposed individuals of modern times. He isn't a screenwriter either.
Yes, just what I imagined. I'm not bothered about the judges though. I'd like to be judged on the creative use of my imagination, rather then my technical skills as a writer, to which I'm still learning and will be as long as I'm writing.
I am sending my 10 pages tonight. Its my first attempt at a drama.
Not happy with it though. Have not had the chance to re-write it.
My brain is dead. Lets blame Private Stocbridge.

I know what you mean. But I've read a couple of novels he's written under a different name, and they're not parodies of anything.
And I've liked films and television scripts written by them both. They might not be 'noted' by some, but they are by me!
I'm entering. Meh see what happens.
Good Luck everyone whos entered.
No I like him. The Lucifer Box stuff is very well done.
You have to play to your strengths and who judges is very important. He wouldn't like my writing.
A few years ago I submitted a female nude to a gallery for exhibition where I'd shown before. The judges were not known to me at the time. If I'd known they were to be two gay men and two avowed feminists i would have submitted another painting.

Gav, what does 'meh' mean, i see that all the time on this forum.
I know you're not saying that if your script doesn't have full on gay sex in it then the two gay judges won't be interested, but that's the extreme version of what you're saying. Which would be a bit silly.
Gatiss does however like a bit of gothic spookery, so if there's none of that you're f*cked. 
An interjection used to imply indifference towards a subject; "a verbal shrug". This particular interjection has somehow become quite popular among teens, the reason for this popularity is a mystery. Other popular interjections are "bleh", "dah", and "mih". Usu. pronounced shortly, without eye contact or body movement.
I've never heard 'dah' and 'mih'!
Sounds Welsh.
'Dah' is a Micheal Jackson song lyric isnt it?
It means 'yes' in Russian if anyone's interested.
What colour suit goes with brown shoes? I've just bought some.
A really really dark brown one I suppose.
Do a David Tennant and get brown with blue pinstripes!
*am on a mission to make every man in the world look like David Tennant*
Hmmm, maybe. Then I'd have to get the raincoat too.
I have already got the sonic screwdriver...
Might go for John Simm's 80's look in Life on Mars.
Both extremely good looks.
Then you can get the laser screwdriver too...
