Agree Seefacts but the powers that be make their own rules as they go along. I wonder if it is a sham and that they just suss out the experienced writers under the guise that they are looking for any old new writer

Thanks BB!!
Andy Harries is a big producer right? I thought he worked mostly in Drama.

He does yeah. It's not a clear cut approach mind.
I was dumb struck when he rang and it took me a while to compose myself. he really liked my work but couldn't use the script I'd sent in. I hadn't got another sitcom to hand as I was quite new to writing...I died after he rang off.
he was the head of Comedy at the time, I think it was ITV

I've already got mine written so wouldn't be nicking yours. The word count is important
Thanks for the offer. I'm only about half way through though and I do have a roundabout way of checking.
Who is this Andy Harries then? Have you got a phone number?

He was the head of comedy at ITV and no I don't have a phone number now, it was about ten years ago that he phoned me 
I don't know where he is now
