Actually, for the latest one, it was cowritten with Richard Lawson, who
would rather be strangled with his own entrails than use Script Format :)
A rather simple reason.

So, is this going to be retained? ^_^

Depends on if we want to see Richard strangle himself :)
 

Well, what was the overall response to the change in format?  I hope not so
negative that you'll lose faith with prose with DNR.

Bad.  REALLY bad.  As in the vast screaming majority of people polled
would strangle themselves with their own entrails if we switched to prose.

Now, the specific episode got good reviews, but the idea of a permanent
change in format was recieved with horror.
