Watson’s Wind-Up

A new opportunity from BBC Writersroom:

Watson’s Wind-Up is a topical sketch show broadcast on Saturdays at 12:35pm on BBC Radio Scotland. The show is inviting unsolicited submissions for the remaining episodes of the current series.

The show has a cast of three, led by the mimicry talents of Jonathan Watson, and ably supported by Tom Urie and Gabriel Quigley. Writers should bear in mind we have a cast of two men and a woman when submitting material and try to tailor their ideas to fit with the show.

We’re looking for anything topical that week, from 10 seconds to two minutes. As the show airs on Radio Scotland the stories should ideally have a Scottish angle, but for the biggest international stories, this isn’t too crucial. For people living out of Scotland and unfamiliar with the show, it is available on Listen Again.

Please submit any material to philipdiffer@comedyunit.co.uk by noon on Thursdays 20 April, 27 April and 4 May.
