Sitcom
I'm sitting here in a sweat of indecision. The sitcom I've written is finished. The first episode is printed out and I've written a brief summary of all 10 episodes. But now comes the crunch: how do I send it out?
I have the names, addresses and email addresses of several commissioning editors and programme managers, but how do I send it? By email, by post...?
If any of you have any ideas I'd love to hear them!

There is a list of book shops in your area that have the book which is free. I got one yesterday and am quite excited about it. Will try and find the list but the storys are going on the web site soon if you can't find the book. I recently tried to start up a sitcom writing group in my area but no-one was interested which i though surprising as i just stay down the road from bbc Scotland. Im write in to writing sitcoms.
I have a question.
I'm scripting my carrots stuff in to a sitcom format but do you think making a sitcom about a homeless tramp is a go, i mean i used to be one myself so im not just laughing at people and of course if the script was successful i would give 50% of the money to homeless projects. Any feedback on this?

Thanks for the info Stephen...however, I doubt I'd find anything like that in my areas as I live in Amsterdam.
I think you have 80% more chance of acceptance with your sitcom about a homeless tramp in Scotland than I have with my London-based sitcom about an astrophysicist, a writer of romantic fiction, a web developer and a chorus girl.
