Ah, I think sootyj mentioned once that, sometimes, they get a bit lazy and don't send out running orders.

Not lazy they're small team and the shows been running for years. So they have possibly hundreds of current or exwriters I'm sure it's very easy to miss people out.

They're usually quite responsive to the occaisonal e-mail.

Sootyj, what would we be without him? Richer probably, because we'd have got more sketches into NR/TS.

I'd better cancel that Caribbean holiday then.

Doesn't matter really about the low payments. It's still a start.
The best bit is that you get your stuff performed.

Well, for the last four weeks, I've had an average of three sketches performed... except the first of those four weeks which only had one performed.

Does it go on size of sketch, or is there an ultra secret formula like Coca-Cola or Ovaltine?

Now that is a mystery. It's a share of the profits based on takings, writers to be paid, whether it's a song, sketch, part of a runner, voice over. If you're owed money from previous runs, the colour of the urine of the News Revue goat.

Basically if your worrying about that you may need a better paid fulltime job.

And that's not even including jointly credited stuff.

Grrr, successful bastard.

Not worried, just curious.

I do have income. Self employed, running a few online businesses.

I know what you mean. I think Andy Warhol said, if people don't pay for your art how would you know you're succesful.

Too hard for me. Did you finish it?

Nope lifes to short.

I also couldn't picture them learning so awakward so quickly.

I'm gonna do Madonna. Not a sketch. Just think I should!

Is it your turn? Should be mine soon.

I managed the I Shot The Sheriff request.

Was very hard, but managed to complete it.

Where do you find out about these requests? Was trying to write a song on that subject but chose a different tune - unsuccessfully

Email them and request to be added to their mailing list.

Then you'll get material requests (usually on a Monday afternoon) and other stuff such as show running orders, etc.
