Comedy Drama script books

Dont waste yor time rea-oh.

Loads of sample scripts available at BBC Writersroom (Hustle certainly falls into comedy drama)

Forget what's already out there, Griff. Find youself a couple of characters and tell a story.

Before Red Planet/ Tony Jordan launched this competition last year I saw Tony being interviewed by Kate Rowland, from the BBC. He was an inspiration and really wants to see new writers get on in the business. I may have a go, I may not, depends on the other projects I'm working on.

Good luck, Griff.

I could probably get hold of some Monarch of The Glen scripts if you fancy em Griff?

You know I'M WITH griff on this, supposing people applied the same logic to driving.

Forget taking lessons, jsut get in a car and drive, who cares if you run some one over.

£7 including postage?

How are they c**ts?

I'm going to get a copy of the Sopranos book as well.

Porbably a bad idea. My sweet natured sitcom about comedy writers, will soon be replete with sack beatings, curb stomping, and whores battered to death by coke heads.

And Monarch is indeed 60 whimsical minutes with Richard Briers.

The books are apparently much darker.

they are absolute f**kers of the worst kind.

You work in advertising? It's a great slugline. :D
