Re: BBC Writing Competition


After prac-tizing my Englisht accent and clever witticisms for nearly 24hrs, I finally read the 'fine print' of the competition....;

You / your writing team must all be:

• Over 16 years of age, as at Friday 6th May 2005
A UK resident
• Not a professional script writer
• Without a conviction which entails current imprisonment
• Not an employee of the BBC


So it looks like it's up to you, Russus. emoticon

Maybe JJ's PMed you that there's yet more evidence that points to 'The Two Dimensional Identity' known as s/Helium being someone that Mr. Deadwords recently penciled in, before he mysteriously disappeared from the country?

If not, maybe he, (JJ), should be the one to reveal this new lead. The facts and nagging suspicions are stacking up in favor of the 'odds', as the depraved individual in question continues to lower her/his insidious profile.

This little crime drama yet continues.... emoticon

Broth?

Are you trying to bait me?

Anyway, thanks for the link I might give that a go.

(Although some of those script writers have written some pretty lame stuff... or maybe it was just the end product that was lame... ooh catty)

Anyway, the competition sounds quite like a guess the punchline competition. Whatever stoy arcs exist will be coming down in the last ten minutes so it's more an idea of writing something that the writers had in mind... I guess.

What the ffff do I know eh?

Re: BBC Writing Competition


Oh my mind is already tingling with slapstick scenarios...

A (n?) hispanic man is found dead in a dumpster in downtown New York. Meanwhile, in a seemingly unrelated incident, a top surgeon is found in his office overdosed on prescription drugs. Only a fat, bald, grumpy detective and his whipper snapper partner (with the troubled past) can get to the bottom of the mystery.

May contain comical violence.
