LOL I like that idea.

No, I am serious about this, someone suggested it and I think it's definitly something I'd enjoy doing, wether it's something I CAN do would like you guys help in this.

And for those who don't actually know me proper, there is no way I would steal any ideas, I will sign anything you want to say that.

But please, as I say, I need your help.

Just a quick note, to say thanks to the people who sent scripts.

Keep 'em coming :)

How about your will?

I was thinking of starting a team of mercenaries, who go around helping people out. If you've got a problem, and no one else can help, and maybe you can find us....

Any one got any problems my team can help with?

Well it's fair to warn you we are wanted by the US military for a crime we didn't commit...

Is that you and Waldorf?

I hate his salads.

I'd love to get into script editing, but how much of a background do you need? e.g. published works.

I have only spoken to a few producers about it and it seems no set way in. The BBC do an offical course but I feel it is for people already in the biz.

I am just trying your my hand here and offering my serives, I enjoy it but don't know how good I am, if I am.

D

I may take you up on that, so how does it work?

Can I just commend Danny's editing to everyone. He managed to find a few points about my script, which given it's the best script ever written is quite a feat :)

You won't get into script editing unless you're on the inside already, with a track record having done SOMETHING in the same genre as the script, I'd imagine.
