Thanks Mikey :-)
Sending Sitcom to BBC Writersroom Page 4
Had an acknowledgement e-mail today.
Yes. Acknowledgement email today. At least we can count ourselves in some decent company. Wasn't it Adrian Mole who got a letter from the Beeb?
I'm just happy the Royal Mail got it there safely. Now if they could just find my laptop.
I opted not to send in what I had at the deadline, and I'm glad actually. I've sat and read as much about screenwriting and sitcom writing as I could, and now I'm working on redrafting the entire thing.
Maybe it will be ready for the next run.

Thanks for keeping us posted!

No problem! 
a bit off topic
does anyone remember all the interviews writersroom had with pro writers on the old website? all I can find now is a few videos and my internet connection is shocking so it's driving me crazy!
I was looking for those too - there were loads and they were often very helpful. The vids they have now look a bit uninspiring to be honest.
Maybe they think the written word's a bit lo-tech and have ditched all their old interviews?
Hm, just had a response from the BBC Writersroom, the script I sent is one of just 6% of scripts sent to move onto the next stage, which is feedback. Bit surprised, assumed like many that it's a black-hole for scripts, so quite chuffed. Never sent one before, I only sent an old script in on a bit of a whim. Smiley face.

I'd wait for the feedback before getting too excited. Maybe they just want to tell you you're a tosser?

Well hopefully my Mum won't be the one actually reading it.
'Thanks, but no thanks' for me.
You got a "thanks"? I just got a "no."
They also called me a tosser.

The BBC would never call people a tosser. Er, they probably meant a tosser out of work...
