Anybody putting in an application for this. I think I might do it, though its not writing it's a good way of learning...

He wrote a really briliant book called 'This Thing of Darkness' too. The man ws a bit of a genius.

Didn't he die of lung cancer despite never having smoked? Great talent, though. Sadly missed.

Well, I had an interview for this yesterday. Anyone else?

No idea how it went.

I got half way through the application questions but then to my complete surprise, I got offered a job at a BBC radio station not too far away, so I never finished it off.

In a way, it's probably for the best because I've always wanted to keep my day job separate to my comedy ambitions, but still, it looked like a pretty amazing opportunity.

If anyone missed the boat though, there is another job currently at BBC Radio Scotland (Content Assistant) for comedy, certainly worth a try.

Any word on this returning for this year or next?
