aka When a Character Changes the Story

This week it's all about all three series of Starstruck, available on BBC iPlayer, and Jessie's journey.

The episode looks at:

• middles are so tough
• the importance of listening to your characters
• how sometimes the story isn't the one you thought it would be, sometimes it's something better.
