Write for BBC Scotland's topical panel show.
Breaking The News is a long-running panel show on BBC Scotland. Hosted by Des Clarke, a mix of the UK's top comedians, journalists and up and coming stand-up talent take a satirical swipe at the week's news in Scotland and across the UK.
Series 31 runs weekly until 22nd August.
The show is on BBC Radio Scotland on Friday afternoons, but the episode recordings are sometimes filmed for a BBC Scotland/BBC iPlayer TV version too.
The show is looking for topical gags for the host's script. Sign up to get the brief to discover what they're seeking in the given week.
