So, it's back then? Days after I return to the forums I've neglected for over a year. Weird. Better crack on then. (Hits "BBC News" link on Blackberry )
Newsjack - Series 5 Page 4
Where are people getting this info from - I can't even find any evidence of the newsjack series 5 website... I'm following on twitter but it's very quiet.
I'm sure this has been asked 6,000 times over the years, but 6,001 is my lucky number.
help much appreciated.

There was a Twitter post mentioning start date earlier in this thread. I think this thread is the best place to keep up to date with it anyway.
I'm looking forward to carpet bombing Newsjack offices with fewer and fewer sketches each week until I bail at around week 4!
Tickets for Series 5 are now available. One major development - Miles Jupp is no longer the host. He's been replaced by Justin Edwards.

Just saw that fact tweeted - wonder how different Justin will make it? Will be an interesting series to find out which amongst us grasp the change in tone/style in time to actually make it into the series!
thanks for the replies, this would be my first time submitting work to Newsjack - any details on process appreciated. I'd had thought they would be starting to accept sketches now, is there an email address yet?
Good luck to all submitting - good to see that some of you have already had some good success!

Note to self: Stop writing dialogue that is 'fast and posh' and start writing things that are 'a bit slow and northern'......
Information with regards to writing for the show and new sketch themes are now up online.
Thank you Ian!
Are people submitting to this already, or is it better to wait until nearer the deadline?

Probably best to wait for the deadline, then you can cover events that are more newsworty at the time.
I know you are only allowed to send three sketches and as many one liners as you want but is there a limit on the "and finally" section?
I really don't know if I can be bothered this time.
So much effort for 4 years to get one line in.
And reading the submission guidelines is just depressing.

I'm sure I heard the figure of 20 somewhere.
But being sensible if you send 50 whose paying attendtion after the first 15?
If you do stuff for regular features such as Loosejack (rather than the main news based sketches), will they consider submissions as ongoing (ie. perhaps save for a later episode) or just for that week?
There will be Q&A sessions online with the production team again this year. If anyone more web-savvy than me can dig the last lot up, they will have a lot of useful info to answer questions like the ones above.
