Quote: michael b @ December 1 2011, 4:37 PM GMTOK, we've now reached the halfway point for the script deadline. I'm curious to know how everyone's getting on. Come on - put your cards on the table. Me? I've done about 9 minutes so far.
First draft written, ten more drafts to go : (
Haven't started. I'm arrogant and deluded enough to think I can tweak an existing draft in the last week and still win, and be snapped up by BBC1, 2, 3, C4, R4 
NBC, ABC, all of them. Even ITV! I shall today however, choose which lucky one is set for the tweaking.

I just have a couple of questions:
I normally type with two hands but one hand is aching today - do you accept scripts typed with one hand?
I have three characters - should I add a couple more? One of them is quite tall though...
Erm... I think that's it for now - I'm only on page 68 so I may have more questions when I get nearer the end.
Hi Sarah
I'm interested to know why one of your hands is aching.
How short are the other two characters? You might get away with a couple of shorties.
I look forward to hearing how the other 120 pages go.
Cheers, Declan

You're not the first person to express an interest. I don't know why an achy hand and slightly sore knees arouses such suspicion.
My script is now reduced to a mere 4 pages - apparently size 110pt font is a bit 'shouty'.

When would you need the script sent to you for the Help workshop?
Hi rich, we would need a cast list about a week before and the script about four days before.

Are you still able to do a two week turn-around for silver feedback if I submitted this Sunday? What with Chrimbo and all. Rich : )

Definitely OK for us, which gives you Chrimbo for rewrites.
Good evening, I just purchased the silver feedback and unfortunately the script isn't uploading so I shall send you an email with it attached. Thanks. Rich.
Dear Sitcom Mission, I accidentally purchased the silverback. Do you do refunds because it keeps trying to drill the missus and shit in the fridge? Thanks, Tim.

Yes, but what does it think of the script?
