Okay, cool.

I just send a brief breakdown of about 6/7 ideas.

Okay, thanks.
By the way, are they accepting email entries? I've just been to the site, and they don't mention it.
I phoned up Channel 4 yesterday, to ask a few questions. The most surprising bit of info I got, was that hand-written entries are accepted. Is this normal?

Not really, I don't think. A bit odd that really. I wouldn't advise it anyway!
I tattooed mine on a pig and let it loose in Shane Allen's office. That way I figure I'll at least get a ham back if he doesn't like it.

I suspect perfectly frank. For some reason Chip doesn't seem to subscribe to the general consensus that I'm f**king awesome.

I wish you were my mum.

I just hadn't used that emoticon before and wanted to see how he looked. I like it. There's something inscrutable about him.
I've been using internet forums for over 6 years, and I still laugh at emoticons today, the way I did when I first saw them. I don't know why I find them so funny.

I know what you mean. This guy, 
, is up there with Ronnie Barker, Steve Coogan and Eric Morcambe as far as I'm concerned. His work always seems fresh and original.
I decided not to bother with Comedy Lab, in the end, as I couldn't edit my sitcom down to 25 minutes. I'm just going to go the usual route, of sending it to various Production Companies. Good luck to the rest of you, though.
