I'd heard by this time last week, so I assume my two suggestions didn't make the cut this week. Oh well.
I'm still going to listen in tonight, so anybody else get anything I should listen out for on the last show in the series?

The Dutch Ambassador phone call (about the smells over London).
I was successful with my first submission to Tilt, and was clearly lulled into a mistaken impression that this comedy writing malarky is a piece of cake.
Oh how wrong I was...
From euphoria to paralysing self-doubt in the space of seven days. Not bad going...

Good news from my point of view. I've been writing some material form "Tilt". I've tried to write sketches since the second episode. I thought I wasn't going to get anything.
But I've just got an email telling me that one of my sketches is going to be used!

I had a massive, massive interview this week so I displayed Berbatov-esque laziness and lack of effort towards pretty much everything else, but congratulations to all those who got something on.
I think overall it's been a decent series and hopefully it will come back for another one.

I shouldn't worry Stalin never made it as a standup. Then he became a dictator and killed all the comedians, except himself.
So there's hope yet.
The ASDA of satire.
"Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." Which is exactly what happened to Winston Smith. His rebellion was not one that was foolish and too outspoken. He silently tried to defeat the Party for his personal happiness, and in the end it cost him everything he had fought for, and his love for Julia. He had learned to love Big Brother, which was his ultimate fear when trying to live a life of individuality. The Party had defeated him.

At last Tilt catches up with the zeitgeist. A quick Barrowman slagging!
