'...and this is me...'
I am aged 39 and am married to Jo and we have three children 8, 6 and 5. We could have given them names but chose to give them each a reference number instead.
I have worked in marketing and as a graphic designer for nearly 20 years in the fields of travel, the internet and the racy world of insurance.
I made the long list - as opposed to the 32 person short list - in the BBC’s ‘The Last Laugh’ national sitcom writing competition. Apparently the competition attracted nearly 5000 entries with all scripts (supposedly) read by a team of a professional readers. Each were graded 1,2,or 3 and those graded 1 made it onto the long list. My letter from BBC3 stated: ‘The difference between the grades is that basically those graded 1 could with a little work and and editing could be performed for television.’
As the 32 short-listers seem to have disappeared I'm not sure where that leaves me!
While I have continued to write sketches since then it is only relatively recently that I embarked on my own sitcom project. Wish me luck.
