What was the third one you wrote which didn't get in? Was it a continuation of the others?

Yeah. It was a set of three.
I had a forth sketch accepted - a TV spoof - but it got dropped just before filming.
Finally got around to watching these last night, Seefacts and both sketches were really excellent. I was so looking forward to being disappointed too, so it's a blow to find that they were...
The ginger guy got both sketches spot-on, in my opinion (much better than he was in some of the other sketches), and they all worked really well together.
The super-powers bit was indeed a high point too.
Much impressed. Well done! (Nice to see a name I knew in the credits too)

Thanks Dan!
I've had the line "You're made of gold" in my head for the last few days. I like it. I must admit I didn't pick up on it at first.

Ha!
I'll be selling t-shirts next.
Do it. I'd buy one.
Actually, the line in my original script was:
DOCTOR 2:
Gold! There's some gold in you. You're worth a fortune!!
So I only CO-wrote that bit really . . .
I wouldn't buy that t-shirt. Seefacts, stop putting yourself down, you're a talented fella whatever the first draft was.

Oh, it's been announced!
I've known for ages. 
I wish they'd followed this bit "The show is written by a team of leading live sketch performers" with "And some scruffy chancer who got lucky"
So are you going to be part of the official writing team? If so, well done!

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Not sure. There's been some 'we'd like to talk to you' rumblings.

I know. I'm very excited obviously.
I'd love to do some more bits for them. Especially now I have actors in my head.
