Some (though not many) accept unsolicited scripts, so you could send soe of your material to them.</p> <p>This is how I got my first (and almost only!) stuff broadast :-) </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1470#post-4028 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 10:32:12 +0000 edward hack 4028@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Why not try getting 10-15 FP's on that 'satirical news' website I hear people talking about - as good a place to start as any I would have thought.<br /> Give it a try, nothing to lose<br /> <a href="http://www.Newsbiscuit.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.Newsbiscuit.com</a> </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1470#post-4020 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 10:19:34 +0000 Ludicity 4020@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Watson's Wind Up - but I think the material needs to have a Scottish angle so keep the punch lines deep fried. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1470#post-4016 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 10:11:24 +0000 nealdoran 4016@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Writers Room at the Beeb seems a good place to start. As well as NewsJack and RFTP, I think there's a Scottish BBC radio show that takes subs that's been mentioned on here, but I can't remember the name. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1470#post-3994 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 09:19:42 +0000 Dickens or Shakespeare 3994@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>They'll take any old crap these days. Just mention David Mitchell in the synopsis and you're home and dry. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1470#post-3989 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 09:09:44 +0000 Des Custard 3989@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Well done Ludo if you've had stuff aired, which is more than I've managed. I did get asked for a re-write once. </p> <p>I think it's important to listen to as much different radio comedy as you can, so you know what works and what you like, and then do it in your own way. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1470#post-3985 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 09:02:51 +0000 Ludicity 3985@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Keep an eye out for 'open submission' shows such as NewsJack and Recorded for Training Purposes - although be warned there are thousands of people sending in material so you do need to be remarkably persistant. I find sleeping with the producer also helps.</p> <p>Good luck. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1470#post-3966 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 01:00:43 +0000 roffle 3966@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>This is a good place to start:<br /> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/">BBC Writers' Room</a> </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1470#post-3957 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 23:09:03 +0000 danlewis 3957@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I've seen some people on here making mention of jokes/sketches they've sent to R4, can someone let me know how to do that?</p> <p>Also any tips would be appreciated. </p>
