Just a quickie to say that we still have a few tickets left for our upcoming Q&A sessions.
First up is Miranda Hart on Tuesday 10 November 2009, where she'll be chatting about her new series Miranda, which airs on BBC2 on Monday nights at 8:30pm
A week or so later, you can find Stephen Poliakoff and Jane Wright who'll be talking about Stephen's new film Glorious 39.
If you're desperate for some Q&A action in the meantime, you could do worse than check out the new interview with Jimmy McGovern.
This year's Tony Doyle Bursary for New Writing - supported by us here at the BBC writersroom - is now open for entries, so if you're an Irish writer by birth or residence you should make your way over to our opportunities page and check it out.
The Tony Doyle Bursary is a fantastic stepping-stone for new writers which has launched several careers, so well worth a look.
Due to the recent postal disturbances we have a slight amendment to our dates for the Scotland Writes competition. The deadline for submissions remains the same. But in order that we receive scripts potentially caught up in sorting offices, we will start sifting them later than originally planned. And so instead of announcing the winners on December 7th, we will now announce them on December 14th.
Of course you can also send them in a bit early to make sure they're here in good time, just to be sure...
