Fear is an abode of the average and a target for the mundane.
If you're scared of the regime you only end up as one of its compliant clients.
All I have said is that it would be a f**king doddle to say 'We have what we need' that's all then the writers can then look elsewhere.
I know I am blotting my copy book by being bolshy but that's who I am, I firmly believe that writers get a rawer deal than is really necessary.
In this instant all I am asking for is a cut off date I'm not advocating or organising a full frontal assault on media city.
I actually got a reply on one question and I can imagine that 15000 scripts is a handful, but I still raise questions and I still think that a general thanks but no thanks would really help me as a writer.
I know they probably read shit like this and put my stuff in the bin if it isn't already in it, but for f**ks sake you have to be able to raise questions, we're not f**king amoebas, we're writers!
Scared of the regime? You talk about this as if we're dealing with some international cartel intent on supressing all joy in the world, even the smiles of newborn bunny rabbits and that bit of giddy excitement you get when a kitkat is all chocolate.
There are probably only a handful of people working on this show who also will be working on other things, and most likely don't have time to put deadlines and mass emails out or reply to every single response. I'm grateful for every reply I get as I know they probably have a thousand more important things to do than look through my long winded emails for the point amongst my attempts to be hilarious.
I also don't know how getting a thanks but no thanks would help you as a writer, surely just listening to the show and knocking ideas back and forth on here is of more use. I know we all get antsy when the recording and broadcast time comes along because we all want to know if we're shit or not, I even sent the bbc a parcel of neatly packaged excrement with a timer on it when I didn't get a response within minutes. However, if you're in desperate need of a conversation with people about your work why not do something more local with theatre jerks or local troupes, I recorded my own stuff with some people what I gone and found, and that was just as important for me as seeing what the bbc like.
