I'm new to this, so know nothing about it. Are they looking for a 15-minute story, with a proper ending, or is it just a few scenes from a larger script that they want?
Sitcom Trials Manchester 2011 - scripts invited Page 7
The details are in the first post in this thread--they want a script with a first section of 8 minutes that ends on a cliffhanger, and a second section that resolves things in about 2 minutes.
It should be a complete story rather than an extract from a longer work.
On the first page of this thread, it says the deadline for entries June 19th, yet on page 3 it says June 21st.
Can I assume that it's now June 21st?
Which reminds me... I'd better get a move on if I'm to enter this.
ok this I my first even post on any comedy based forum and I am currently writing my first ever script, that is all
I think that's more of a Twitter status post...
But welcome!

Okay, I'm in and uploaded.

Just read your script and it's very good, a lot better than mine, in fact...
Unfortunately, my 500 followers on Twitter and Facebook think it's shit so better luck next year...

Yes of course you do, it starts a new sentence
re: Situation comedy about 2 males, 2 females - less than 10 minutes.
How about an extra large man, a pregnant woman, a really old man and a young woman, attempting to negotiate who gets to sit down on public transport?
*pauses*
Perhaps it is more of a series.

You should have also Googled 'Do you put a capital letter at the start of a sentence?'...

I actually like that idea, if it had a barking mad ending. And the old man could be offered the seat at one point and says...''P*ss off,I'm not that f*cking old''.

How about:
Fat Bloke to Old Bloke:
'If you stood up, Granddad, one of these ladies could sit down'
Old Bloke to Fat Bloke:
'If you stood up, Fatso, they could both sit down'

It lends itself to loads of laughs, eh?
