I'm tense and I've not submitted anything for 3 weeks 
Good luck everyone.
Just waterboard me and get it over with.
Fingers crossed for BCG'ers, I've not graced them with anything this week.

Well that's it for this series. Just one, one liner from me but happy considering it was my first series. Looking forward to the next one! It's going to be weird not spending my Monday coming up with one liners...
got an email saying some of my stuff was recorded but not used in show - so close yet so far
Bugger. That is all.
Nothing again.
What Ian said.
It started so well with a 'recorded but not in the show' e-mail for episode one. Then diddly squat since. Ah well, there's always series 6.

According to the show's Twitter account, Series 6 will be February-ish.
Have got nothing in since NewsJack started despite regular submissions of dazzling one-liners. Obviously using a very old word-processing file the BBC can no longer open. It's called dixon-of-green.doc (impossible to corrupt)
A long winter ahead. Am willing to do unpaid internship at Christmas Cracker joke fund managers. Any contacts?
Only one near-miss for me this series, despite my three sketches a week.
Still I found it a useful experience. Defiinitely learnt a lot. Now I just need to put it into practice.
A few of the things I learned:
1. Write more sketches than you need. Write 6 sketches, submit three.
2. Discard the first thing you thought of. Everyone else will have thought of it too.
3. Keep pushing every joke, and every punchline to be funnier and tighter.
3a. To do this come up with lots of options, then pick the best. Don't try and think of the "best joke" out of thin air.
4. Sleep is optional.
5. Most importantly - write things to your own high standards. Never think "It'll do".
Comedy is subjective and to get on you need to tickle that particular script ed's funnybone enough, but also it is possible to get better, get funnier and get on. At least I hope so.
Any one else want to share what you got out of it?
Now on to the cofilmic subs....
