How to make it in TV drama scriptwriting
The way UK television script-writing teams work is changing fast. While today's fragmented digital industry offers less in-house stability, there are more opportunities with international and online broadcasters.
We spoke to TV writer Sophie Petzal, BBC Writersroom development producer Abigail Gonda and Doctors script editor Nasreen Ahmed.
“We're less hamstrung by the needs of channels now... I feel like now, more than ever, is the time to get into television.” –Sophie Petzal
In this podcast, you will learn about:
- BBC initiatives to nurture budding script-writers
- The demands of working as a TV drama script-writer or script editor
- Why the relationship between the script editor and writer is so important
- The new challenges teams are likely to face in the coming years
- The value of script-writers and script editors in the production process
