Have just been pm'd the following questions, and am posting them in case they help anybody else:
1 after 15 minutes are we to leave a cliff hanger or come to an end
2 I have written something that has actors ranging from early twenties to mid sixties ,would the actors be of the right age or do you use the same group of actors that fit whatever role
3 sitcom trials and sitcom mission are you two separate competitions?
4 where can I view scripts that have made it to previous finals
Answers are:
1No cliffhanger please, though structuring your script to a climax will help your cause. Sitcom Trials showcase scripts in 2 sections; up to the cliffhanger, and (if voted through) a short second section. We want self-contained episodes that end satisfyingly (but unexpectedly).
2You focus on the writing, not the casting. Writers have enough to think about.
3Yes, two separate competitions.
4Check out the blog section where you can read the excellent Thunderer.
