TV Script Format

• A very large percentage of writing is actually what not to write, in 90% in fact
• Keep it clean and simple, avoid too much filler.
• Find your centres of action? In writing TV script don’t focus on a whole group of people, this becomes very confusing.
• Centers of action, have only 2 or 3. This keeps the TV script simple.

Plot Characters

• Are they larger than life yet still recognisably from life?
• Cliches or Archetypes?
• Reveal your characters and their story through the action as well as through the dialogue

Script Plot

• What keeps you hooked in to a show? What makes you lose interest?
• Open the show as dynamically as you can, too long a build up will cause viewer to switch off. Get the viewer hooked ASAP and they will stay tuned to the finish.

• Is there enough action, drama, or comedy?
• Keep a strong sense of character; this will carry the audience to the end.

Well, it’s the connection between the hand and the brain really and
I don’t send in my manuscripts in longhand.

It’s the first contact with the idea is me and the page and I mean I can even go even further into that as I write by pencil and I have an eraser on the
pencil and so I erase that, it’s a very primitive form of cut and paste really and I do that and it just suits me really. But, at the same time, it is laborious and I wouldn’t really recommend it to anybody.

If you can write fluently onto a keyboard that’s fine, and of course you’ve got all the wonderful facilities of it. But, I grew up when you know I was writing, when it was type writers and that you had to… It didn’t even have an erase facility on that. You know, if you make a mistake on a page, you
really had to use Tipex and rub it out and I used to do that and I found, when I type in those days, I would well, keep constantly wanted to change it, because I see for the first time. So, I developed a system with my wife where I would write in longhand that I have very poor handwriting as it happens… and she is one of the few people in the world who can actually
read it and she would put it on the screen and then I would look at
it and I was like in a way looking for it at the first time and it would then hit me really and I would see whether it was working or wasn’t working, how valid it was. And then I would print off that draft and then I would work on the draft by hand and then I can give it to her back.
