Any idea when we can expect second feedback ?.Those of us that didn't get through need something to look forward to. :)

Hi guys

Second feedback will come. Apologies for the delay on this, but I've got 85 to get through and am in the middle of sorting out the final 32 as well.

Will send 15 off this week, I'm afraid you'll just have to be patient. Sorry again.

Declan

Sorry if I sounded like a pain in the bum then - didn't realise you were doing the second one - I'll try and stop sounding like an old moaner!.

No problems rwayne, I'd be moaning by now as well.

Thanks for your patience

Dec

Thank you for getting back Declan - promise no more pestering.Mm...maybe less moaning and more writing for me.

The thing that I'm most pleased about this process is the above posts - writers agreeing that the second episode they've written is better than the first one. This is one of the reasons why we're doing it - we want to promote the best writing possible.

Oh why'd you say that? I'm of the opinion that my second episode is good but that my first probably just has the edge. It might be because I've been looking at my second episode for pigging ages and ages though.

I've gone Script-blind!

Penge, don't get paranoid, it's not illegal for your first ep to be better than your second.

Although we will dismiss you for being a one-trick pony.

Goodnight all.

THE TEST REALLY COMES WHEN YOU CAN WRITE A THIRD/FOURTH/FIFTH/SIXTH EPISODE....CAN YOU?

Crikey, don't shout!

I'm confident I could write more episodes though. I'd just need to set my mind to it and away I'd go.

As for the 1st episode/2nd episode pondering, we'll just wait and see. Time will tell!

Sorry, I didn't notice capitals and when I did, I couldn't be bothered to correct them :)

A message for my fellow losers (although, not really losers, we all did our best and that's all anyone can ask. It was just that the quality was generally really high. We probably all came 33rd anyway.)

How is the feedback feeling? And anyone planning on attending any workshops this year, or been to any before?

My feedback felt pretty spot-on. If only my partner or I had watched 'Early Doors' before, we wouldn't have sent our clumsy, accidental homage to it. Rookie mistake I guess.

I'm booked for the one on 20th feb in Manchester for total newb's. Anything I need to be warned of before attending!?

Yes, you'll have a great day

My script didn't make the last 32 but I am extremely happy with the Bronze feedback.

The advice was insightful, encouraging and invaluable. It's given me the enthusiasm to convert to a full-length sitcom. I hope to have it completed and ready to fly before the end of February. (Of course, it's still likely to crash and burn(99.9% of all scripts are doomed) but you have to keep going for it.)
