Does anyone have contact details for Marc? I tried using the wotsit on this website and never got anything back.

Oh dear, it sounds like it's got lost in the system or eaten by your spam filter or something. Marc is normally quite quick replying! I've found an entry in the log from you for November - I'll forward that back on to Marc again - he should be in touch soon. If you still don't hear anything do PM us.

I guess it was November then. Thanks for passing it on. I await with baited breasts.

If I remember correctly, he got back to me within a couple of days, so there must be something wrong there. You should send him your details again.

Okay, so the message finally got through to Marc and I received my script report. Honest, inspirational and chock full of fresh insights. Money well spent, friends.

Did he suggest that you changed your Avatar to make you look like Frodo running from the Eye in Lord of the Rings?

Or Bruce in Die Hard running away from an explosion?

YIPEE-KI-YA MOTHER . . . Well, you get the idea . . .

Is Marc still accepting scripts?

No.

No.

I don't think he meant you Marc. :D

Not sure but you could try here: https://www.comedy.co.uk/writers/consultation.shtml

I sent Marc Blake a script once. I was happy with the feedback, but this was a few years ago now. He was very positive about my script, but even I look back at it now and think it's sh*t, so God knows why he thought it was so good.

I filled in Marc's contact form last week, but haven't received a reply yet.

I think he stopped to do workshops. But I could be wrong?

I think sending scripts to people you have to pay to review them is akin to asking a hairdresser if you need a haircut.

Having said that, maybe Marc Blake is the best thing since they stopped slicing all the damn bread?

:S who can say?!
