...and joint one liner submissions sent too.... 
Newsjack - Series 11 Page 19
week 5 submissions:
Man Flu sketch
Spider sketch
(I expanded and hopefully improved an unsuccessful spider-related ad from a couple weeks back - they have more than one reader, right?)
30sec Ad on FB's frozen egg program
(myself and how many thousands of others...)
Our sketches were:
Queen visits poppies at the Tower
Low interest rates
Waitrose spider (mini)
The fact that you and Viv have got a writing team together seems to show it needs to be a partnership of equals. Are you going to write for NewsRevue or Writers Room?
I'm still relatively new here so please excuse what is obviously a stupid question, but does Newsjack pay?

Yes, Newsjack does pay.

I'd be interested in hearing about your process for co-writing.
How do you agree on an idea?
Do you write together in person? Or does one do the first draft and the other rewrites?

Surely a sketch is more than twice as hard to write as Breaking News or TV Listings? No wonder they have very few sketches subbed compared to one liners.
I found the last episode to be the most enjoyable of the series so far, which interestingly co-incides with it seeming to have the most contributions from BCG members.

Hi Matt, I guess it'd different for everyone. We each come up with material and then send it to each other. We then edit each others work. For the one liners we did the same and chose our favourite 6 breaking news and 3 TV.
I think it's a good way of working because the other person makes the sketch better through editting it.

From my experience that's the best method

I totally agree. I thought last week was excellent.
And you can say piss and prick now so that's good.
Mike.
I just got the good email, second credit of the series for me
Well done! I got the good email, too. Didn't submit any sketches this week because I've been busy but managed to rattle up the full compliment of one-liners.
Good luck everyone
Me also! Had no inspiration so didn't submit any sketches and was struggling on the one-liners and listings but got a couple of reasonable ones in.
Well done everyone!
Nothing for us this week.
Next week is week 6!! Where did that go???
