We should be making the announcement at about 11.00am.
Sleep well peeps.
It's alright for you LOL
Hi Just a few quick questions..
I couldn't quite gather if the deadline to send in your script had been changed to the 28th... Is this true?
Also, I know there has been a few formatting questions but as I've never written for the stage before I just wanted to know if writing in the US stage format was okay? And how much stage direction should I give? Should I mention the change in lights or even props?
Thanks in advance!! 
Hi Mr Bojangles
The closing date is indeed the 28th (we're in the process of updating the Rules page, it should be done by tomorrow morning).
I can't really say if your formatting's ok until we've seen it, but the thing that irks us the most is camera angles/zoom in/pan round/"close up on the mobile phone screen". Leave those out and you should be fine.
Ha wow I can't believe people actually send in scripts with those directions!
That's good news about the deadline!!

This is the format I've used. Is this okay? I can always change it.
That's fine, Mr B.
Cheers Declan!

Is it "We confess that in two years of running the Sitcom Mission we have moved the goalposts after launch each time"?

Here's Declan and Simon's news: https://www.comedy.co.uk/news/story/00000463/sitcom_mission_hat_trick_productions/
A nice boost for the contest and the future prospects for the winner.
I was hoping no one else would notice. Nice work Simon and Declan.
An announcement with actual WOW factor!
Good stuff. I'm glad I've bothered now.
