Ah well. It's another email to print off and put into my 'rejection pile', so when I 'make it' I can look back and laugh at how wrong all these people were.
Problem is, that pile is now thicker than Tolstoy's 'War and Peace'.

I haven't got a reply one way the other yet. Is this a good thing or a bad thing, I wonder.

It's both. Does that help?

You're not even worthy of their contempt, where as I am.
I look down on you sir.

In a Schrodinger's Cat kinda way?
Did the RSPCA ever catch up with Shroedinger?
That cat's alive!
Add me to the list of "rework it and we'll see" noncoms.

Got mine - very similar, though I feel the comments were veering towards the cat being dead in my case.

My feedback was almost "if you can turn these into completely different sketches we might consider them". But I'm still in with a chance!

I got a "we've done somethinng like this before and it didn't work, but it's okay so we'll put it in the pile" and a "this is too short, please make it longer" on my two. Put a smile on my face, anyway.
My feedback doesn't make sense as far as I can tell.
"Nice quickie. Worth giving it a while, I think. Got any more like
this?!"
The hell does that mean? Either way it sounds quite positive so 
Quote: Steve Sunshine @ September 22 2009, 8:45 PM GMTI've got a sketch that I want to send, but it's a bit different.
I might PM someone on here, but I don't want to in case they tell me that it's rubbish.
Well that one I mentioned got straight through to the maybe pile, which surprised me, and I've got to do a rewrite on another so I'm well chuffed.
Well done to everyone else that made it through the initial sift.

Yeah, we got something similar - "this doesn't really fit but we'll stick it on the pile and see" and this:
I really like the first bit of this - a photographer
refusing to take photos of an ugly family - but it sort of peters out. I
think there's something more interesting to be done with her reactions,
which is one-note until the punchline. She could be taken around the
houses a bit more.
The sketch is in critique here: https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/15641 - if anyone's got any ideas about how it could be salvaged they would be much appreciated.

That's quite an amusing sketch.
Not sure how you can end it though.
So basically, Recorded For Training Purposes, a sketch show about methods of modern communication are now accepting sketches that are nothing really to do with methods of modern communication now.
Gazzooks! I wish I'd have known that.
