160 Character sketch
Written by admin
12 September 2006
Help! We're being invaded by Amnesty International. Oh, the irony. As you may have seen in the forums, Channel 4 and Amnesty are running a sketch contest, and want your entries double-quick.

The deal is you have to write a sketch idea, (not a whole sketch) in no more than 160 characters. Imagine you'd walked into a commissioning editor's office, wiped the suspiciously-white dust from their desk, and pitched your hilarious sketch idea. In no more than about 20 words (well, 160 characters to be precise. But then, you've probably picked up on that by now).

Entries to be in by Thursday September 14th, so hop-to. Full details are at the Channel 4 "microsite" below.
