NewsRevue again! Page 49

I'm not sure if mail will be queued, so it might be worth resending, just to make sure.

Personally I don't think stuff is held over, especially mid-run if it is by then considered last weeks news.

Some directors do tend to hold over some stuff, (as reserves, should sketch count be down one week) but mainly generic sketches.
For example, last week my Metal Detector sketch was used (a generic skit about a metal detector installed at a school entrance - a pupil goes through clean and is then tooled up by security) which I actually submitted weeks ago to the previous run.

A question. Does anyone know if or when we get paid for sketches used in the recent NR London Previews?

ahhh, thanks Griff.

Still awaiting the official Ed running order.

What a wanker and a chippy none Londoner hope his whippet gives him syphalis.

News Revue is an aquired taste but it's whole charm is it does old school 80s style satire and songs. It's like Spitting Image.

And of course it's not upto date it's a best of the year show!

Too reverse the French proverb, "We gave you gold and you gave us shit"

Week 6. Just one more week to go for this run.

When did/will the new run start?

New run starts this Thursday.

No sign yet of last weekend's running order.

Do you mean the 10th or the 17th Mikey? I sent a lot of sketches for the 3rd thinking the new run would just follow after week6. They tell me nothing. They don't respond to my emails. I asked to be put onto their mailing list. I ask them a lot of things but they've never answered an email of mine. How is it you find out your information Mikey?

Cheers

Sorry, I meant the 10th of September.

Runs often last 7 weeks and sometimes 6.

You'll only get their mailings if you're on the "writers list."

I remember, way back when, having to ask twice to be put on the list.

Which email are you sending to? I use mail at canalcafetheatre.com

It is mega hard work to get put on the writers list. It took me two ot three attemots.

Maybe something they should think about addressing.

I have to say I don't actually recall getting a running order for weeks now. I get the other stuff - asking me to buy tickets etc though!

Can someone please post the new (week 1) running order as I accidently deleted my email?

To be honest Mikey, I think you're the only person who ever gets it...

bugger. Griff gets stuff in, so I guess he must get it too.
