I followed the advice of Derek and Clive's "The Horn" and just wrote 'C**t, London' on the envelope.
So what do you think David Cameron's going to do with it?

Use it as the blueprint for 'Big Society'.
Then he'll let George Osborne draw on it.
Royal Mail sent it to the wrong place. Idiots. This is despite there being a clear printed version of the right address (which also appears on my receipt).
Thankfully a mate is delivering it by hand for me tomorrow.
That EPOD (electronic proof of delivery) thing. Checked my Special delivery number on their website, and after a couple of days, they upload the proof of delivery (the thing that got signed). It said 39 on it instead of 379 (even though I put 379, and my receipt says 379).
I've Googled the address, and it appears there's no business or anything at 39 so I can't even ring them to see.

I shouldn't really give personal details away but I live at 378 and the thing has just landed on my doormat.

Hmmm.....do you really want me to pop next door with this?
OK!
I changed the opening scene to a 'knock-knock' joke just to give you an edge.
At least I shouldn't have this problem when I'll send the Sitcom Mission script.
Unless I make a typo and it goes to the shitcom mission, and falls into the hands of an evil crap shitcom writer who will use it as a spin off to his already crap shitcoms.

You know, I really can't stand the 'how do you see the series developing' document.
Whilst that might fit a modern sitcom like The Office or Gavin and Stacey, how does it fit the more traditional style of something like Miranda or The IT Crowd where it's a series of one offs. Isn't it often said sitcoms are about people who are stuck and every episode should end with the status quo returned to? (Down, down, deeper and down).
I'm struggling to write an outline where the answer to 'how do you see the series developing' isn't 'not much'.

I put.
e2: The entire episode is set in a elevator that is stuck between floors.
e3: The cast have a holiday in Ibiza.
e4: Christmas!
e5: The cast have to take care of a baby for a day.
e6: The lead actor is in a coma. Or is he?
I am so going to win this.
Turns out my script DID go to the right place, some dufus put 39 right next to the road and postcode 
The 39 was to signify 39 packages, they just put it next to the address, sending me into "Arrghhh THEY HAVEN'T GOT IT" mode.
