Newsjack - Series 3 Page 33

What are you doing messing around on here when there could be the news-story of the week breaking at 4.58pm? Ok there wasn't but that's not to say it couldn't have happened.

Actually I can't talk I sent off precisely zero vox pops & corrections this week so all my hope is in sketches. (REALISATION DAWNING) Nooo! You fool! What have you done! Please let there be a last minute request on the twitter feed tomorrow!

Real hack stuff.....but I keep saying "They did a viagra joke. They did a viagra joke" over and over again....

Too right - when I first spotted this oppo on Writersroom I listened to show 2 on iPlayer and heard the viagra joke and that was enough to make me believe I could get something on...

1 sketch (first ever), 10 vox pops and 2 corrections.

Anyone else do Andy Pandy, Judge Price and bishops?

(That was a hell of a night...)

But, FCW, you're on Twitter so why not just follow them?

And boost their popularity? Nevah! Not until they broadcast my material.

That said, nowt on the Twitter link so far - they must be flush with material for tonight.

Stick it on the Critique section SOS if you want a proper debrief.

I'll post it up at the weekend, once I've got over the likely depression that will follow after another week of failures!

Cheers!

Never mind Trabs. RFTP starts next week and we'll soon be able to hear your wonderful porn sketch!

Oh well, third time lucky perhaps!

At least now I can bring my depression forward and overcome it a little earlier.

Think I'll go and say hello to those fine chaps at Bargain Booze :D

This is the 1st thing I will ever have broadcast. my grandparents keep asking my thing is going to be on the radio, and I'm like "yeah, I don't think you're really going to like it.."

I am hoping for at least a Vox Pop for tonight.

Ah, they'll love it!

Myself and co-writer have struck out with NJ. Apart from one vox pop recorded but spat out onto the cutting room floor.

Why doesn't your writing partner come on here? Or is that just what you call your writing hand?

You are a real memory man! Shame there was none of my sketches though...

He did actually register as a member, but he's never bothered posting. Just as well. He'd only cause trouble and show me up!

Damn! I sent in a sketch that was basically about an answer phone but it had nothing to do with Nick Clegg.

Then again, after last week's fiasco, there's a chance I might get a credit for the concept of 'answer phones'.

(And I'm shameless enough to be happy with that)
