The Sitcom Trials 2012 Page 13

Here are the results of the totalled up votes in the Eurovision Sitcom Contest script selection (where a Yes gives 2 points, a Maybe gives 1 point, and a No gives minus 1 point). The figure in brackets is the total when the writer's vote for their own script is removed (these are the writers who admitted in their votes which was their own script, I realise there will be others who voted for their own script but didn't mention it, and whose online name doesn't match their author name. If anyone wants to report any amendments that should be made, please let me know. The full table of votes is now in the SitsVac files).

I shall be making the decision about how we proceed today and shall be
announcing that later. Thanks and congratulations to everyone who entered and
everyone who voted, I hope we've all got something out of the process. Next stop
- the Eurovision Finals where three of these scripts will be up against the
French and the Israeli entries.

I'm pleased with a mid-table result, considering how little experience I have of doing this. Thanks for all of the good and bad feedback. I'm going to absorb it all, and keep working to improve my skills.

Echo that. Cheers to everyone who read my script and commented, even if it did make your brain pulsate with fury.

I can confirm that Checking Out, Art For Arts Sake and Band on The Run will be performed at the Eurovision Sitcom Contest in London on May 24th, competing against the Israeli and French entries. If the authors would like to get in touch to reserve their free places (and their plus-ones), email me at kevf@sitcomtrials.co.uk

Anyone else who wants to be sure of a place (tickets can only be bought on the door and the room only holds 50), email me too.

Ooof.

How close was that! Gutted to have missed the cut, but I'm telling my friends I came second!

I'll be recording six episodes of Cooper in a few months as a podcast and post the link here.

Well done to the organisers, again a great competition that's provided me with some really useful feedback.

And good luck to the three finalists. Hope you have a great night.

Come on Englebert!

Sorry to the scripts that didn't make the cut, it was close and cruel as always. I hope we can all have fun on the night getting the best out of the scripts that have made it. If we find this show works, then more could happen in which case I'd like to see recently entered scripts get a reading if there's the chance.

See you all at the show

The Eurovision Sitcom Contest looks dangerously like becoming a sellout. If you want reserve a ticket, email me now at kevf@sitcomtrials.co.uk, then pay on the door. You'll need to get there as near to 7.30 as you can to get your tickets, at 8pm we'll sell on uncollected tickets.

Looking forward to seeing whoever can make it to tonight's Eurovision Sitcom Contest (we're pretty well sold out with advance bookings so if you are coming you'll need to get there by 7.30 to have a chance of getting in).

The running order is

Art For Arts Sake
Band On The Run
Checking Out
The French entry
The Israel entry

And the audience will only see the ending of the winner. Stay tuned for reports tomorrow (and, if you're really lucky, video clips, but no promises there, let's see how it goes)

And the winner was..?

Thanks to everyone who made it along to last night's sellout Eurovision Sitcom Contest Sitcom Trials Special at the Camden Head, possibly the hottest Sitcom Trials ever (the windows are sealed shut, who knew?). And the runaway winner on the night was The Synagogue, the Israeli entry by Sarit Chen and Tova Leigh.

The French entry, a Species of American in Paris by Bart Hulley came in a respectable second, with the other three scripts Art For Ars Sake, Band On The Run & Checking Out tying in third place.

It was a marvellous and highly enjoyable night, I look forward to hearing your reviews and comments. And video highlights from the night will be appearing soon at sitcomtrials.co.uk

It's a good day for ringers...

I think the third script got a bum deal.

At least they had a crack.

I think it's what's known as a Freudian shit...

Yes, well done to the writers. Those guys have certainly paid their Jews.

Never mind the quality, feel the width of my ballot paper...
