I attended the BBC writers room road show in Birmingham on the 18th of August,it was very informative and helpful, before entering the theatre, those attending had a brief chance to chat and share experiences face to face...any chance of a workshop being integrated into the roadshow schedule in future?, so that local writers/would-be writers get more of a chance to get acquainted, gain confidence, get to know the BBC staff a little better, who knows, some brillant writing partnerships may come out of Birmingham!

Peter, I don't see a blog link for the Sitcom Trials, so I'm having to use this one to ask you a quick couple of questions - Does submitting our sitcom scripts to the ST people in any way compromise the ownership of them? Obviously I'm referring to the main ideas and the characters of the sitcom, and even the title more than the material construction, because these former elements are unprotected by law. The wording in the entry guidelines worries me a bit, and naturally, if a piece of one's script is actually performed in front of an audience before anyone has optioned it then the main ideas, characters, conceits and motifs inherent in the piece now technically belong to the public, so that anyone in that audience, professionals included, could legally use that material.
Is it simply safer just to send the scripts to Wriers Room rather than take this chance? I don't know much about the history of The Sitcom Trials, how genuinely useful it's been to sitcom writers and to sitcom producers. Is it a real and proper alternative to the WR for sitcom writers or do you recommend we use The Writers Room instead? Do you know of any scripts that have made it into production that have come through the Sitcom Trials? Ta.
