We have a new script in our Script Archive.
It's last week's episode of Holby City, Out of the Woods by Rob Williams.
In other news, it may not have escaped your notice that the UK is currently having a bit of a problem with the post. Specifically, there are some postal strikes happening.
This means that it may take a bit longer for us to get back to you than usual, so please be patient and allow a little more time for us to let you know how your script is faring.
There's a new series starting on BBC Radio 7 on Saturday September 26th, and they want you to help out.
Chain Gang, written by Rob Shearman is looking for help. They're going to make the first two minutes of a story and transmit it on Radio 7 - and then want you to tell them what happens next. Each week Rob will dramatise one of the storylines that people send in to create the next episode.
You can find out more at the Chain Gang website, where you'll also find instructions after the first episode transmits about how to send in your storylines.
Screenwriter Josh Olson wrote a piece for the Village Voice about why he no longer reads manuscripts from new writers who he doesn't know. (Warning: contains strong language.)
We, on the other hand, will.
About one in twenty of the scripts we receive will get taken away for a full read, and if your script reaches this stage then we'll give you a page of feedback on it.
But we guarantee to read the first ten pages of every single script we get sent.
We're sorry, but unfortunately the Inverness event scheduled for next week has been cancelled due to a lack of demand. All other roadshows are still scheduled to go ahead as planned.
The judges (Steven Andrew, CBBC Head of Drama and Anne Gilchrist, outgoing CBBC Controller) read the final shortlist of scripts and bowled over by the quality and range of work, we have selected the following eight writers for the residential:
Kerry Drewery The Office of Imaginary Friends
Nick King Misfits
Mark Brotherhood Take Two
Debbie Moon Wrongblood
Maxwell Slater Sparks
Alice Charles 2088
Felicity Carpenter Quick, Decide!
Matt Sinclair The Magician's Daughter
Also, a quick word about another writer, Mark Daydy, whose script was really well liked and who was shortlisted for the masterclass, but who already had some experience writing for a younger audience - so we put him straight in touch with the CBBC drama team at that stage.
