Hellllllllooo!
So obviously the big, big news in Cut Land this week (oh, if only such a place actually existed... imagine the (emotional) rollercoasters) is the CUT OPEN AUDITIONS! Eek! Are you coming along?? Let me know if you are, cos I will do a good luck dance for you. No, really: I will.
Writer Grant, who sits next to me - get prepared.
A few people have had some questions about the auditions, so to formally* clear any GCSE/A Levels confusion up:Ìý
If you are 16 years old and you are taking your A levels, you may still apply for the full time filming job in London.
However, if you are doing your GCSEs, you MUST obtain a performance license from the LEA in order to get the part. This is because A levels aren't mandatory but GCSEs are! If you don't have one of these, we won't be able to see you - sorry.
Joining the cast of The Cut is a full time job. You will be expected to film full time for two weeks every 5 weeks or so - this means you wouldn't be able to sit A levels at the same time.
EEP! Good luck y'all. We're popping along to do some filming at the Manchester and the London auditions for The Cut Special, so if you see us, make sure you give us a wave.

PS. Oops... forgot to post the link to this week's iPlayer episode! Here it is. Imagine... your face could one day be on iPlayer! :oÌý

At 7th Feb 2010, Chinenye wrote:Firstly, you said two weeks in every five weeks, so does that mean the other three weeks we can go back to college?
Secondly have you got specific dates for the filming?
Does that mean it affects applying for university this year, people who are 16 and 17?
Thirdly I've applied for the London auditions but i am not aware of the whereabouts?
In addition,(sorry about this but I had a lot of queries) does that mean that those currently in a-levels will have no way in sitting exams for courses they've been studying for almost 6 months? Will we need to make some kind of arrangement with our school? I REAALLYY AM EAGER TO DO THIS BUT REALLY NEED THESE QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED, PLEASE! Thank you very much.

People who are auditioning in London will find out on the day. Good luck :)
