"Shoot the Writers 2"

Starts tonight, midnight, ITV1.

I'm not on until week 8. Nov 17th, I think.

Anyway, if you do happen to watch it tonight, and you saw any of the last series, let me know what you think.

Personally, from what I've seen the change of format improves the show no end, well, the quality of the sketches. It's still low budget, but hopefully now funnier.

Meka's name brings back memories of SR's site promotion,

In the Internet section they showed Meka (then the top prize winner) and said 'this could be you'.

The caption underneath the picture, of a silhouette cheering, said 'Derrick'* has won ...X number of games

*Derrick is not actual name

There was a Scottish by-election on.

I was so sad.

No. But it's a show that will mean I have something of a track record. Anything's better than a blank page.

It's not even a show you can say you were proud to be on.

Especially considering it's a foiled lid top.

The idea isn't terrible, but he's holding the yoghurt pot out for all to see, no disguising the punchline. If they'd use something that you do need nails to open, well at least then it would make sense.

Oh, and one last thing. The really crap "Got any nails?" sketch. WHY would you need nails to open a yoghurt pot? WHY?

Yep I made a video. About 3 or 4 minutes we had to send in in total, so I don't know which bits they'll use.

I'll post a link to the website so you can vote once mine have been on.

I'll vote for you as long as you post the link to the website where it's FREE to vote, I seem to remember them saying. FREE.

I hope you get to make a little film to introduce your sketches, like the other writers.

Cheers. ;o)

i'll vote for you as long as you remind us when you know the date closer to the time.
