How much is the Unobtainium, late, late, late deadline package (with feedback)?
My 3 years in the making, high-brow, socio-political satire on the Clegg/Cameron partnership, cleverly titled "Too Daft C***s in an Office" is, I think, sort of finally ready, nearly.

Or you could wait until next year. There's always next year, Sean. Ah, dear Sean.
Why look to the future when you can just dwell on what could have been?
So how go the deliberations Simon and Declan? All sorted or are you torn between some fine, fine scripts?
Any zombies this year?
Beachwear zombies perhaps?

Get in!
So close... Roll on next year. Cheers you buttery biscuits and best of luck to the top 8!
I'm so happy I could literally cry! Honestly, it's just such an amazing feeling. I'd like to thank my Mum for raising me- to be the writing genius that I am. I'd like to thank God & my saviour, the lord Jesus Christ. Lastly, I'd like to thank Simon Wright & Declan Hill for inspiring me in such a way that I can only describe as...
... hold on... Sorry, just re-read the list. Runner f***ing up???
Are you taking the Buttery Biscuit piss????
Chris, forget next year. Grow a pair mate! I'll meet you at Farringdon station on Wednesday evening. Bring the knuckle duster. I repeat... KNUCKLE! Not feather. I'm not having this punch up go tits-up like the last one you turned up at. More Kray than Dodd this time around, alright fella?
And this is what happens when you let people in from the wrong side of town.
