Quote: Judgement Dave @ October 10 2013, 5:47 PM BSTWell I just got my first 'recorded but cut' email.
Did I remember correctly that they'll normally say what was recorded if I ask nicely - or am I better not asking?
Yes they're usually quite good at responding when you ask what was cut. Although depending how horrible a day it was it might be tomorrow morning before they get back to you.

Yes they're very good - had a reply already. 
So it was a one liner... Meaning I'm still missing on the sketches.

Yeah, I got a nice email saying what was cut but why they liked it. Very good of them I thought.
Well done everyone! I notice Viv on there again. She's doing something write (see what I did?).
Ooh, just remembered an Open All Hours sketch. Very good.
Hey guys, I've been following this handy thread for a while, picking up tips on Newsjack submissions. Sent a couple of sketches in for this week's show and thought I might have nailed it this time -- the tone/premise/type of material they're after.
Alas -- no.
I was hoping if anyone was interested in taking a look in the Critique section to help me pick up on where I might be going wrong.
The sketches are
News story: the health of the world's oceans deteriorating faster than expected. Sketch is a parody of Channel 4's Embarrassing Bodies -- so, Embarrassing Bodies of Water.
News story: the price of lobster plummeted in New England. Sketch takes a look at what else might be falling in price, when everything else seems to be going up.
Thanks in advance!
Swing and a miss, still yet to find the back of the net.
One-liners added to the thread in Critique, for those who fancy giving them a peruse/dissection.
Another week and my contribution missed the mark... maybe I should rethink this career change...
Havent heard the show yet. It had better be really good!

That's astonishing well done king of the one liners

Did my facebook status say that I'd posted the "You're a C**t" messages.
Sorry I did both.

Hi,
Sorry I said everyone was prostitutes. I didn't mean it like that.
But if any of you are, please send me your menu and price list.
Very interesting reading all your comments over the last day. I've tried twice at writing for Newsjack, and I did one for the 2525 Matt Lucas thingumpty, and if I'm honest, how do you keep your peckers up?
How long do you keep going before you realise you might be one of the crap ones on Britain's Got Talent? Am I one of the crap ones? Do I have to practice slagging Amanda Holden off? I don't want to, she has nice legs
Is three efforts too quick to lose heart? Am I being a prima donna?
I am aren't I?

Congratulations, any idea what you will be spending your new fortune on?
