I used the same BBC sitcom format on FD for sketch work, the same as I use for most sitcom scripts. Never had any complaints.

I always use ScriptSmart. It's neat.

I'd have preferred an Annie Hall quote, but that shall do!
"Keen"? "Peachy"?
I've found that hardly anybody gives a shit about standard script formatting. As long as it's readable and has clarity of scenes / dialogue etc, nobody seems to care. I used to submit everything in strict BBC shooting script style, with the large left column and all that stuff, but I actually had producers telling me not to do it because it's a pain in the arse to read on the computer screen. If it ever gets made it's all retyped by a secretary anyway.
But anyway, I hear Final Draft is pretty good. Pretty damn expensive too.
