The Sitcom Mission 2012 Page 64

Andy and I are going to see My Life Story at the Shepherds Bush Empire. So there's 12 reasons why we won't be checking at 9...

You're tense? How do you think we feel?

Back to sorting scripts...

Is there going to be a further Xfactor style dramatic delay, or is 9 o'clock still looking good?

Back to sorting scripts...

As my mother used to say, if you haven't done it by now.....

Anyone else suffering with f5itis?

We're honestly not stringing this out for some crappy Masterchef style manufactured tension. We're still picking the winners.

Ok, we've made our decision. Give us five minutes and we'll have the list up for you.

OK we've picked them. We're just putting names to scripts and we will be publishing in the next few minutes.

Excellent.

Didn't enter this time, but hoping to see some BCG names turn up again :)

Has the server crashed?... I think the servers crashed...

Well I'm not on there, but well done to those who are.

Good luck with the next stage! Will try and make a show.

Me neither. I am not afraid to admit that I am absolutely gutted. Still I have a bottle of wine close at hand.

Well done to everyone. And double congratulations to Eoin Carney!
