It'd be also interesting to note if any potential writers here believe they could write something as good (or better) as what's on at the moment.
Is there anyone on this site that might make it ? Page 5

The proof of that pudding can only be when one of us does get something accepted for one of the main TV channels. We'd all like to think our best stuff was good enough, I reckon.

See, I think in our arrogance, most of us think we can do that! Although I shouldn't speak for other people...
Here's the link to my long-listed Last Laugh script - remember that competition, from a few years ago? Must be some people on here who entered, maybe did well.

I'd like to think I've got better since it I wrote it, but it's still broadcastable! There are lots of jokes anyway.

I think you have to have that belief if you are planning to write a sitcom. And indeed it probably is better than what's out there, in our opinion, as we all dislike certain shows and think our script is better.
I don't think its arrogance otherwise everyone that's ever submitted a script to anyone is arrogant. I think its more a desire to write better and an understanding that we won't be the judge of that, rather than arrogance which is to say 'I know everyone will think its better than...'

'The topic or post you requested does not exist'
It's gone now Godot, which is a shame - I like your sense of humour.
Sod making it! BAH! POOEY! We all want sucess but don't get wrapped up in becoming the next (insert fave comic here). Do it for pleasure, not work. Once it becomes a need, it's no longer a want. Think about it!
It's not about the money....it's all about the fun fun f-f-fun fun.....

Amen!
Or course earning money for having fun is nice too.
I believe I might well make it - as long as somebody hands me a nice fat commission. In the meantime a sherbet fountain will suffice.

It hasn't gone Simon, it's bloody writersdock. If you click links on their site and then you log in it tells you forum/page doesn't exist. You have to log in first, then find it.
If you still can't see it and still want to I'll put it up in the critique forum.

This joke:
ROY: Well, his helmet’s severely dented. The bag was thrown clear.
VINNIE: That’s lucky. They can probably sew that back on.
Is probably the sole reason it wasn't shortlisted. Painful. In every sense.
Do you remember Love For Sale?
The winner involved a necrophillic webcam incident, so unlikely.
I meant painful in comedy terms. The rest was great tho.
