Quote: sootyj @ January 3 2010, 2:20 PM GMTQuestion for my fellow BCGers on skit 3 should I send.
A skit I think is pretty good but about a very popular subject.
or a not so good one on an obscure subject?
I'd go with the good one on the popular subject.
Go obscure. And two of mine are introducing characters. I find them easier than traditional comedy sketches.
Okeuy dokey obscure it is.
Thanks team BCG.

You've been advised to send in a not very good sketch on an obscure subject. I'd give it a little more thought 
It's not bad just not as good as the other one.
I also have gone for more obscure stories. Wow, can I just say how glad I am to be caught up in the madness again? July seems like literally six months ago... 
I'm with Gerry. A good sketch about a popular subject will get you noticed even if it isn't used but a mediocre sketch about something less obvious is just mediocre. Always send your best work. I agree you have more chance with a more oblique angle or subject but only if it is a good sketch in the first place.
Well, I have just gone and done it. Submitted my first ever joke to Newsjack (or any other show. Fingers crossed and all that.
I've just written half a sketch.
(I forgot when the deadline was)
If I can finish it by tomorrow lunchtime I'll send it off.
Otherwise I'll just send a few Vox Pops in.
Nice to see it back though
Go NonComms!
Sootyj's have taken flight now. Like short sighted kamikaze pilots looking for a duckpond.
Fired off five one-liners. I'm not bothering with sketches this time around. I think I spent too long dicking about with sketches last time which drained my enthusiasm and made me quit before the end of the run.
My best sketch is an adaptation of an RFTP sketch that got good feedback.
Two sketches off. I find it very hard to write the one-liners (which probably isn't a good thing). No auto-reply this evening. Will try not to get fidgety...
I've managed to scrape three sketches together, but two are similar in style (a sports personality being interviewed), does anyone know if this is frowned upon?

I hope not. One of mine is an interview with a sports star.
