So our final tally of entries is an astonishingly grand total of 1808 - a lot more than we usually get in script competitions, augmented no doubt by much tweet activity.

The readers are ploughing bravely into the scripts as i type and are already uncovering what they think may be contenders for the workshop. Halfway through the initial sift and we've had all kinds of characters, ideas, worlds and setups, from transvestites to trappist monks, pathology labs to magical doors, storage units to surreal newsrooms. Recurring themes include student sitcoms, hapless men, mockumentaries and the recession.
