Quote: Winterlight @ August 24 2008, 12:25 AM BSTThe one thing I had done by NewsRevue had a similar punchline to Mikey's. It was about Tony Blair pulling out of Cherie quicker than he pulled out of Iraq! Arf!
oh bugger. 
sorry.
I guess great minds think alike

It's ok, I wasn't insinuating plagarism. I think that style of punchline is pure NewsRevue.
He's a Catholic now, or soon will be, so you can probably use it again.

Ah. ok
Yeah, NR seem to like either word-play punches or silly shock endings.
But I STILL can't nail Treason's style.

That's how I originally used it. He was explaining that being a catholic meant no contraception and then Cherie delivered her 'pull out' line.
This week's NewsRevue running order.
Sorry about the formatting. Hard to read, I know.
Maybe someone can post a neater version.

Quote: Chris Forshaw @ August 30 2008, 1:07 AM BST2 in there for me aswell
Cool.
Have u posted your 2 sketches in Critique so that we can read them?
Anybody go to today's meeting? Yes, I'm looking at you, sootyj.
Yes and as a reward I get to write the whole of the next show.
In my honor it's being renamed,
The Sootyj Jew's Revue
It was good to meet the current and next director.
And the writers weren't as Troglodyte as I was expecting
Quote: Griff @ August 30 2008, 11:31 PM BSTYeah I went. It was fun. Possibly more social than productive. But a splendid afternoon and I've come away with some ideas to write up.
I've had some thoughts about how the writers meeting could be structured next time. It would have been good if we'd been broken into groups - this table songs, this table sketches, this table voiceover gags - and then the director had said "OK you guys I want a sketch about X, you guys I want a song about Y, you guys I want some gags about Z". I'll suggest that next time.
What do you think, Sooty?
Good plan I'd set homework in advance.
Also I'd make it big stuff like runner skits and song medleys.
How was it done? And who's the new director? And other questions I haven't thought of.
