how important is it to get every detail of a script for instance minor details such and wot people in the background are doing if its insignificant and also, is it worth adding a short paragraph explaining the setting character breakdown etc....
Script presentation...
Get hold of some scripts and read some.

How come YOU can say that and it's fine, but if I say it, people throw their toys out the pram?
Is it because you're likeable?
Oh, and to echo Griff. Only include stuff that matters in the script.
Recieved earlier today...
Dear Mods
I was bitterly aggrieved to find Seefacts suggesting somebody actually read some scripts... even if it was just a quote by the immensely likable Marc P. I would have thrown a cuddly toy at the screen, if only I hadn't thrown them earlier, when after turning on the 6 o'clock news, I discovered that Seefacts had yet again NOT been publicly crucified as per my petition to Downing Street.
I echo Seefacts ((and Marc) and Griff)

Stop hanging around those caves. You have to accept it. You are the only one of your kind.

It's just good advice Seefacts. Pared to the bone.
No point trying to describe what an orchestra sounds like, easier to pop a CD in and listen to it.
Same thing really.
I'll tee you up.
No, and I wasn't even short listed.

What, details like grammar,spelling, punctuation etc.,none of which seemed to have made it into your post! 
Sorry, couldn't resist...
