Pilot

"PILOT is an opportunity for drama screenwriters to win the chance to have their work produced and screened on Channel 4.

We're inviting exciting, talented writers to submit a treatment for a six-part drama series, an outline for a pilot episode for that series, and a script for a sample scene from that episode."

Fantastic. Thanks for posting that Robin. I'll give it a go.

Thanks Robin.

As you say it's for Drama. Maybe if by any remote chance I DON'T win Red Planet I can send it there. No other time really to get anything else - or is there?

Mmmm. Maybe!

thanks robin, this is a great opportunity. i do love competitions.

I've had an idea for a comedy drama floating around in my head for ages, but have never got round to writing it. It might be time to take another look at it, although there may not be enough time to develop it before the deadline, but no harm in trying.

How - X-Ray?

I was just going to write my thoughts down, but if that fails I guess X-Ray is the only logical option available, right? Huh?

Your drama is about someone floating around you head and its filmed like you are watching it through x-rays? Nice. Note: if that isn't the premise, its mine now. Robin, cancel the comp I've got a winner...

I'm just going to send them my Red Planet entry - although twenty-three minutes sounds very short for a drama pilot.

I got a great one to send in, A drama I wrote a few years ago. Cheers for the Link!!!

Hello everybody.

I saw this too. It sounds quite a hard pitch to me; they want something totally original that can be told in 6x30 on a very small budget, set in only one or two locations with a small cast, to appeal to a 10pm audience who want sex, violence and controversial subject matter.

Comedy Drama! yay!

Thanks for this. Got a lot of stuff on at the minute but defo want to send something in for this. If anybody wants to collaborate on this then PM me or something.

Don't forget to fill in your diversity monitoring form. Are you allowed to tell a few porkies? :P

Hey, good luck to yer. If you can manage to write a show based around that, I'd certainly like to see it. :)
