Hi. Apologies if there is something already on the site (which no doubt there is), but i am looking for any literature/features on formats for writing sketch material.
Any help would be massively appreciated please.
Cheers.

Best thing to do is to watch sketch shows you like and ones you hate and figure out why the ones you like work and why the ones you hate don't.
Then try and figure out why the ones you hate get made in the first place..
Hi Leemus, the BBC Newsjack website has a simple but suitable format for radio sketches: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1hDdvFLfWClPHW7zT3sq01S/submit-a-sketch.
TV sketches would follow a screenplay format such as shown on the BBC Writersroom http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/writers-lab/medium-and-format
