Newsjack - Series 4 Page 56

Was that the same sketch where he was chatting to future Niles?
or was that a different one?

Is anyone at the recording tonight?

Yes, went to the final show. Very good. Feel free to ask away about stuff that was recorded.

I wrote a Miles interviews Nick Clegg sketch, can't imagine that many other people did. Errr

Also did a whole bunch of one liners - Stephen Fry's crossword habits, St. Patricks Day, police cuts/beaureaucracy, Blue/Eurovision, and a nice linked intro and correction pairing about the olympic clock.

There was a sketch where Miles interviewed Nick Clegg, where Clegg was manning the phones for Big Society volunteers.

As for one liners, a lot of those topics were covered (except Blue/Eurovision), so without knowing your gags, It's hard to say.

Feel free to PM if you like.

I sent a Twitter Libel sketch (talking in tweets in court), McCartney presenting the Man Who Changed the World Awards (more Now Show then Newsjack tbh) and Satan 'Unleashing Hell' in a Chris Patten way...

Now I've said it out loud, I don't know what I was thinking...

Mental note: buy shares in Huntley and Palmer :)

They've bled Nick Clegg dry in this series.

This is what really annoys me about Newsjack, taking sketches which The Now Show wouldn't touch. But, even assuming our sketches/jokes are good enough, we can't sub to The Now Show can we? It's got its own writers...

I tried and was very politely told to piss off.

None of those made it, I'm afraid...

The sketches that I sent in where about the Comic Relief Twitter auction, a Blackadder-sketch based on the police's "cunning plan" about the student protests, and a sketch about Miles the last of the tiny budget to celebrate the end of the series and Radio 7.

Woohoo! No stress for me at 5pm! How do you like them apples?!
