A postcard from the BBC

Not quite as colourful or suggestive of holiday time as the one on the right but a hundred times more welcome is the postcard that arrived on our doorstep on Friday from the BBC Writersroom.

It may only be acknowledgement of receipt of our script but it's a vivid landmark on our journey as sitcom writers.

Having read through the guidelines to submitting unsolicited scripts to the BBC many many times, we know that we now have to wait and see if our first ten pages will hook the Writersroom into reading the entire script. As it says on the postcard, this can take a while ("you should hear from us within four months").

In the meantime, we're working on the next script, Paul's sci fi drama and getting on with being human beings.
