Hi All,
Im a Entertainer/Music Composer,and Comedy Writer.My Email paulmagic19@btinternet.com

No offence, but so what?

Unless you're introducing yourself.

In which case hello.

I'm sure I read this exact same exchange on a dating website

Do you come here often?

I'm not falling for that again

(Hi by the way Paul :))

any one know what a script room cover sheet is and how I get it.

What a delightfully random email.

Hello Micheal!

I would assume it would be the first sheet you put on a script; detailing name, date, copywrite info and contact details.

But if you're asking this you may want to go to BBC writersroom to get a better idea of what a readable script looks like.

Thanks for your reply sootyj. Im new to this haha ive been writing my own comedy script and it says on the writersroom that I need to download a script room cover sheet before I send it off to them but I can't seen to find it anywhere.

I think it's WritersRoom thing - but since they've changed their submission policy it might all have changed.

Beat me to it!
I think it only turns up when they are open for submissions.
Which they're not at the moment.

Are you going to share an extract with us?

Yes, it's to do with BBC Writersroom's new submission policy.

You won't be able to find the cover sheet (which is basically a document you fill in; name, address, name of script, genre, blurb, etc) to download because they're not currently accepting scripts at the moment.

Hi can anyone help. Does it matter how many holes a punch into my script. I've only got a two hole hole punch which means I will have 4 in my script, but what ive been reading on the internet is that there is a 3 hole rule. thanks

So long as you're sending scripts around the UK no one gives a toss. It's only in America they care about punch holes and what kinds of brads you use.
