Yeah, Chris confirmed they went with a different wording. Funny old business - when I think about some of the things I’ve been paid for which were script-edited beyond all recognition!

It’s probably worth it to get in with Jon - he produces a lot of stuff! I felt my Skewer credit gave me an in and let me pitch stuff for Dead Ringers.

Must admit I gave up on The Skewer as soon as I got a sketch on. Sometimes you just have to accept that you don’t have the time to do something - though it’s difficult to let go of the writing FOMO!

Haha, quite. Although I’m not really complaining, but this is a good example of the financial reality of many comedy writing opportunities.

Impressed you’re paying so much! Completely in line with more ‘established’ sites.

One of the joys of exploring McCartney’s back catalogue is discovering that albums which don’t have a fantastic reputation are often pretty great.

Yeah, I’d literally had a couple of dreams about being LW and not getting anything on (I know that can happen and doesn’t necessarily reflect the quality of material)! I was surprisingly relaxed when it came to it, although having some early gags on definitely helped!

Cheers, Gregor. Yep, that was my first time 🙂

Thank you, Mike!

Cheers, Gregor! Yeah, definitely a nice way to round off the week.

I won’t take it personally. Good luck for next week!
