If it's like last time, the "You are in" emails are sent out around 4/5pm.
To be 1000% certain...wait until just after 11pm tonight.

Has anyone heard anything yet?

Don't start me! It's the 'anything' that I find so hard to bear. They just bloody well hate me on that show

I bet you've got 15 requests for re-writes nestling in your spam folder.
They're probably wondering why you hate them so much.

Hey thanks Bomsh,
I've just checked and when they email to ask for rewrites they call themselves 'Pfizer' and seems they want me to do a load of sketches featuring Viagra, penis extensions and counterfeit watches. Who'd have thought it? Just cracking on with them all now.

Well, the company that makes Viagra are planning on leaving the UK so at least it's topical.
It's all a bit quiet so far today. Unless all those who've got the e-mail are out celebrating and haven't had the chance to gloat on the forum yet.

5 o'clock and no email. Anyone want to hear a topic joke?

A joke about topics?
They're nuts!
The Newsjack twitter feed has just announced that the email is to be sent out shortly.
Not long now to find out who's in - don't forget they often put the writers list up first here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yc08c (Just to give people something to hammer refresh on...)
More interestingly everyone up for/aware of the newsjack live webchat thing tomorrow? ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio7/features/newsjack.shtml ) Seems that to encourage us to write more (or write better) they're using a combination of computers, wires, and bits sent down phone lines to do a live question & answer thing.
Can't yet decide if I want it to be really useful advice or a giant setup just to give them another way to ignore Blenkinsop... but either way should be fun...

Bet I bloody well know which of these it will be.
I didn't send anything this week, but seeing the Newsjack Ep...good news e-mail landing in your inbox does kind of make your day.
Oooh! Just got an email from Newsjack's Producer telling me about the webchat tomorrow. Needless to say it arrived on my (new) alternative address and not my main one were I appear to have been knocking my head against a virtual brick wall for the past 2 years.
Did anyone else get this?

I didn't get it. If I haven't got anything on tonight it will be a double blow for me writing wise - I also got rejected by Jesting About.
