>If they were better script editors, would they be doing this show?

I refuse to answer that question until a report/broadcast tells me if anything of mine was used this week!

Ash,

Have you been invited into the inner circle?
You've been quiet on here and I've noticed you getting credits each week.

Well done, by the way!

Mike.

No I'm not that fancy, I just ask questions when I can. My credits have only been one liners so far, which is good as I rarely get them on, but bad as my sketches are failing to chime with the new folk. I'll probably get the hang of them just as the sodding series ends.

If they were better script editors, would they be doing this show?

I find the best way to get work on non commissioned shows is to insult the script editors who have to tidy up your work, on a public forum where they can see. Slow clap.

Still, getting a lot of hits so very good work.

The format will probably change again next series when Romesh becomes the regular host of something for BBC 3 (on line).

Indeed. It's a very difficult job, script editing. In fact, I think they're doing fantastic work. I hear they are very good looking too? If I met them I'd buy them several pints... each.

Careful. If the wind changes your tongue will stay like that.

And it's not like they read these forums, and then tweet referring to things said, making notes of the screen names of who said it. So, just for the sake of ease, it's best using your actual name on these forums, rather than say, a false name
