And I can't write it. Think it might be best to return to later.

Struggling as well, not good :(

Got a couple of sketches under my belt today, finding one-liners a more difficult prospect.

Do you guys mostly present your one-liners as Newsbullets - or do you just label them 'one-liners'?

Is anyone else having trouble coming up with stuff to write this week. I just cannot seem to come up with any good ideas.

I've found this week a bit easier than the others, to be honest.

But having just listened to the last episode, I'm starting to think they put all the voxpops into a big bag and pull ten out at random.

I managed three sketches this week which is a record for me. One is a Chilcot parady and im sure there'll be loads of them so I decided to make it quite surreal... God knows what theyll make of it, I could make it work though!!! I think... J

I did get in last week, after all. The 'Bob Ainsworth Mastermind' sketch was my original idea, though completely rewritten for the show. Admin error why I wasn't credited but all sorted now.

So, :) for getting in. :( for not writing a sketch well enough.

Blimey. It's been a few days since I listened to it, but it didn't seem to bear much of a resemblance at all to the version you posted in Critique.

Still, a credit is a credit, and money is money, so congrats anyway :)

Worth emailing them after all, then

Ta both for advice. I suppose they wouldn't have done the sketch if I hadn't have sent the idea in.

And all the lines up to Bob's chosen specialised subject are identical ;)

Well done Dan and everyone else who had a result last week - I was so busy pretending not to be disappointed that I didn't make the cut that I failed to congratulate those who did :)

I submitted my Newsbullet as a sketch, (first time I'd dabbled in Newsbullet) although they only used a small portion of it.

7 voxpops sent off this week.

I suppose I'd better do one sketch next week before this all comes to an end.

Out of interest, perhaps some old-timer could tell me what's next on 'The Calendar' after NJ ends.

7 voxpops 1 correction, no inspiration this week :S

5 voxpops - oh dear.

I've lost my cat, though. My heart's not really in it this week.
