I already thought this had started again. Sent in a bit the other day, but got an auto-reply saying it hadn't start yet. Should I send again or assume it's in their inbox?

I got this yesterday, Leevil.

I wouldn't worry about it Leevil. (I remember this happening at the beginning of the last season.) They've just forgotten to switch off their auto-reply widget.

OK, cheers. :)

Voxpops:

Do they want a question and answer type thing? Or just a man-on-the-street giving an opinion?

Just a person on the street opinion
Such as:

Faith schools aren't necessarily better, I mean look how out of control Hogwarts is

That's great, thank you. Nice gag, too!

I've already got three sketches written today. Mind you, I might get some more ideas before the deadline.

In the Newsjack gubbins they talk of being interested in characters they might develop over a series. Have there been any characters other than Jupp in previous series?

They tried a newspaper columnist - Listen to my Opinions and Agree.

She was so good I based my entire BCG persona on her.

How can I listen to newsjack online? I want to submit but I want to liten to the show first!

Not yet available Davbob!

I sent my three little piggies off to the slaughterhouse yesterday.

I sent my sketches off today. I've written an "Archive" sketch about the Tories. The others are about the World Cup - one is a short impression-based sketch, the other is longer more character based one which if picked up I plan to make a recurring sketch.

I had one sketch in mind, but the punchline would only have worked if England had beaten USA on Saturday. So I'm empty handed this week.
