Is everyone getting auto-replies then? On the Newsjack website it says we're not meant to get them. (I've received nothing myself)

I got one at 11.58 when I submitted some one liners.
Has anyone else had problem with the formatting on the template?
I'm using a Macbook.

Yes. On my PC the numbering was frustrating. The numeral 2 on Breaking News disappeared on pressing "enter" and when I re-typed it the format went a bit wonky. In the Number Crunching when I tried to type a second line the numeral "1" appeared again next to what was supposed to be the tag line. Numerals 2 and 3 also duplicted themselves. Very frustrating. Ended up deleting them and submitted one Number Cruncher. To be honest I find them harder to create than the ViewsJacks.
I got the new e mail
It just says "Wow! these are going straight in"

Sounds similar to my formatting issues. I will try on my other laptop (windows) later.

hello Steve.......... or SS as you are better known...
I submitted one Trump sketch, one May sketch, and three oneliners + one numbercrunch.
My auto-reply yesterday was immediate; the one today took over an hour.
But I think that as long as you don't get an 'undeliverable' reply, then everything's okay.

Aww, don't be so hard on yourself Steve.
I had a problem with the 'hanging indent' on the new sketch templates, since they didn't hang after the first line. Maybe they're not supposed to, but I didn't like it, so I cut and pasted the new red textbox into the old template.
I actually submitted a couple of sketches this week, for a change. Get me.

That is exactly the formatting issue I had Nogget. Because I left it to the last minute I gave up on trying to correct it and just sent it skew-whiff and apologised in my email.
Good luck with those sketches. I only sent one-liners as I just couldn't convert the ideas I'd had into full sketches.

That's very cruel, you know he Trumps everyone else...
Is anyone going to the recording tonight?

And would anyone be brilliant enough to tell us the sketches and oneliners they remember from it?

Bad e mail.
I'm in!!
First time I have made it and the grin on my face is ridiculous!
Got the nearly email. Was for a sketch as I didn't send any oneliners in. Going to almost congratulate myself.
Here is the list of writers for this week: https://www.comedy.co.uk/radio/newsjack/episodes/16/2/
(This has come from the production team who are still in the edit suite, so it may still be subject to change)
I recognise some names on there as BCG people. Well done to everyone who got in! If you didn't, don't be disheartened, every week there's different names, so keep trying.
