Thanks to everyone who entered, commiserations to those who didn't make the cut, and particularly well done to the three writers who each have found themselves with more than one script in the final running. A result of having a panel of script readers, judging the scripts independently on their merits, has led to a fine selection of sitcoms which will now be performed in a series of six nationwide heats.
The dates for the heats are:

Fri May 3 - Manchester Heat 1 (Lass O'Gowrie)
Fri May 10 - London Heat 1 (Camden Head)
Fri May 31 - Bristol Heat 1 (Wardrobe Theatre)
Fri June 7 - Manchester Heat 2 (Lass O'Gowrie)
Thu June 13 - Bristol Heat 2 (Wardrobe Theatre)
Fri June 14 - London Heat 2 (Camden Head

Fri July 19 - London Semi Final 1 (Camden Head)
Mon July 22 - London Semi Final 2 (Camden Head)

Final Weds 21st August 2013 (The Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh Fringe)
