Having listened to it last night and read these threads over the last few days, I think it's a genuine effort on their behalf to give non-commissioned writers a chance. They will at times spot and look out for particular writers and names that they recognise because that's just how things happen, but if you can get their attention, then there's a good chance that they'll pick your sketch.
I wasn't really won over by the show itself and I got that feeling that in some kind of parallel existence, a different production team could have done a better job in picking from the hundreds of sketches that were imaginably sent in, but what troubled me more was that they didn't list the writers at the end of the show.
Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I think they just gave some website out. Surely that's half the fun when as a writer - you get your sketch in the show, then you hear your name read out at the end?
