Spec scripts

Is it illegal to post spec scripts? copyright?
I just finished a 50 page script for 2 pints of lager I wanted to send to the BBC Writers room but now read that they don't even read spec's (why not?)

Actually I only wrote it because it was great fun doing it, then had the idea of sending it to the beeb later.

Now its finished and I laughed my cock of writing it, want somebody else to read it and say well done, or you sick little twisted twat. Just don't want to post it though if I will get slapped by the BBC.

If you mean post in here in Critique. Then I'd say it was fine.

Just have to love those one liners eh?
If only there was a career in writing such scripts, was it you who wrote the telletubbies dialogue?

Sounds interesting. I'd like to see it.

There is no law to prevent you posting up a spec script of an existing show. Post it - but be ready for criticism. (Might I suggest posting it in digestible chunks. Nobody wants to read 50 pages in Critique)

Why did I hear the sound of palms rubbing together there?

Thanks Lee, at the risk of sounding a bit gay I've now become your fan.
Gonna start chunking in the morning so we can start digesting, which is ironic as I used to have a dog who digested his own chunks.

Who gives a toss about criticisim, bring it on you bastards!

It' the first script I have ever written but it made me laugh writing it.
Then again I laugh at people farting and at people falling over.
If I ever saw a person falling over farting I would be laughing for a week.

They don't because then they can't be accused of nicking your idea.

Have moved the scene to a new thread, 'Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps scene 2'
I have the attention span of a two year old and can't get past more than 10 postings in a thread, also not enough fingers.
