![]() If submitting an Online/Children’s TV/Radio script then multiple episodes may be submitted as a single document provided the total length comes to at least 30 pages, the scripts are consecutive and form part of the same continuing narrative (ie no anthologies).without a name attached, until after the full-read stage so please remove any personal details (name, address, contacts etc) from the front page of the script or within the document itself. Drama or Comedy/Drama scripts written for Film, TV, Radio, Stage, Online or Children’s TV/Radio scripts which are a minimum of 30 pages long (excluding title/character pages).However, original spec' scripts are the means by which writers get noticed, so you should always write your script with the same level of commitment as if it were for production. Original scripts written “on spec” are produced extremely rarely, and writers should not send them in with the expectation that they will be produced. If we believe a script could be developed further by a BBC department, we will send it to them with the writer's knowledge. We may also consider whether a script has real potential to be developed further towards production. We are not looking for early/first/rough drafts of scripts. Only submit a script to our Open Call when your script is ready, even if it means waiting for a later submission window. We look for what a writer can deliver in script form rather than unscripted ideas. We want to see the best possible draft you can achieve. We want to find that special something that makes us want to read more. We are looking for a sense of storytelling ability - handling of pace, climax, mood. We are looking to unearth the treasures, the page-turners, the new perspectives, the engaging dialogue and the surprising character creations. We are looking for characters who are well rounded and consistent and who drive the narrative rather than serve it. It’s not necessarily about finding precincts or situations that have ‘never been done before’ but having an original take on stories that have the potential to have wide breadth of appeal. We do not look for more of the same – we look for the writer’s ability to pull an audience into a world and hold them in it. We are especially looking for distinctive voices - and scripts that express those voices. ![]() ![]() We see all scripts as a calling card to showcase a writer’s talent, ability, and voice. We look for what the script tells us about the writer. ![]() We are looking for writers to develop rather than specific projects. In our Open Call we are not looking for projects to commission or produce. ![]()
