76 women sign open letter to commissioners that claims British drama is “overwhelmingly written by men”.
A group of more than 70 female writers has accused UK drama bosses of failing to give them opportunities to ‘graduate’ from soaps to flagship primetime shows (reports Broadcast).
In an open letter to TV drama commissioners, 76 women, whose work ranges from EastEnders and Casualty to Midsomer Murders, Hollyoaks and Us series How To Get Away With Murder, claimed British drama is “overwhelmingly written by men”.
The letter was prompted by a recent ITV drama release that set out 10 upcoming shows for 2018, but featured just one written by a woman – Gwyneth Hughes’ adaptation of Vanity Fair. The broadcaster has since announced a second series of Kate Brooke’s detective drama Bancroft.
The signatories, who include The Coroner creator Sally Abbott, writer and actress Sarah Solemani and Debbie Moon, who devised Cbbc’s Wolfblood, said there is an “untapped resource” of female writers who have cut...

Writer-director Amanda Hood in La..
One of four recipients of the inaugural Metro Screen Fellowship, administered by the Adg, Amanda Hood travelled to Los Angeles in April to attend The Hollywood Field Trip where she pitched her projects to producers, managers, agents and executives.
.We have water with lime, water with cucumber, or water with lime and cucumber. Which would you prefer?.
And so, our .water bottle tour. of Los Angeles had begun. Five vetted filmmakers from around the world, armed with three projects each and a wonderfully enthusiastic guide in our host, Andrew Zinnes, we would spend the next five days pitching to Hollywood.s elite.
Fourteen meetings were scheduled over five days with agents, managers, producers and executives, as well as with working directors and screenwriters. The main goal was not to sell our scripts, but to establish relationships with these people, because in Hollywood, .all that matters is who you know and who knows you.. Talent is a given. And despite what the tabloids would have you believe, no one is an overnight success. It.s all about the long game.
Establishing relationships in Hollywood is .kind of like dating., a producer sitting next to me at a well-known Californian sushi place confided. .You meet up, you suss out the person and ask yourself a series of questions. .Can I trust this person? Can I see their commitment, their passion, their talent? Can I see us working together in years to come?. If so, you jump into bed with them, or, more specifically in my case, option their script..
(The 2017 Hollywood Field Trip participants (l-r): Julian Roberts, Debbie Moon, Katharine McPhee, Amanda Hood and Ian Martin.).
The great thing about The Hollywood Field Trip is that you get to start these relationships in, as Andrew put it, .warm rooms.. Warm, as opposed to say, having an executive fall asleep halfway through your pitch or having a producer get out of their seat and walk straight out of the room — stories I heard first-hand from writers. Our rooms were so warm in fact, that most of the Hollywood pros asked to read our scripts, gave us feedback on our pitches and offered lengthy advice on career strategy and how to make it in Hollywood as outsiders..
And so, as a way of paying it forward to my fellow Aussie filmmakers, here.s a snippet of the most important things I learnt in L.A:
1. There is no one way of making it in Hollywood; everyone has found a different way in. Your job as a filmmaker is to carve your own path, to keep going no matter what, to work on your craft every day and to keep the faith that your persistence and talent will pay off. And when you do get representation, don.t ever rest on your laurels. Keep expanding your network of producers, investors, other writers and directors, building your contacts from the ground up, because the majority of your paid work will come from nurturing these connections.
2. When you.re starting out in Hollywood, it.s important you submit writing samples in the same genre. I was told this repeatedly on the trip, that people want to .know your brand., to make it as easy as possible for managers and agents to .sell you. to the studios. .Oh Tina, yes, she.s that fantastic comedy writer.. .Oh George, he.s the expert on all things sci-fi.. If you want the industry to take you seriously, pick a genre and stick to it. Then, once you.ve had success, you can always cross over to other genres because now you have leverage.
3. .Baby writers., a term that was thrown around a lot in Los Angeles, are emerging writers (it has nothing to do with age). If you are a baby writer, the best way of breaking into Hollywood is to get represented by a good, .hungry. manager, preferably one who has sold projects in the past, who has an .in. with studios and producers — someone who will help you build your career and your craft..
4. In order to get a manager (and that in itself is no easy task), you must have at least three strong writing samples (TV pilots or feature films) in the same genre (see above), along with a kick-ass query letter. To find managers. contact details, get a paid subscription to IMDb Pro. Being part of The Hollywood Field Trip meant we were able to bypass the query letter stage (where you are competing with thousands of other screenwriters) for those we met, because it got us in the same room as talented reps whom, after hearing our pitches, wanted to read our work. .
5. Living in La is optional, to a point. Some reps were adamant; .You.ve got to.be here to take meetings because most jobs come up at the last minute.. Other reps told us they like working with writers and directors who live abroad because .They offer a fresh perspective. But they must be willing to come to La for meetings 2-3 times per year.. .After hearing the pros and cons, my opinion is this: when you.ve spent enough time working on your craft and you have at least three solid scripts under your belt, only then should you think about moving to La. In the meantime, it.s far cheaper to work on your scripts/short films from home, with access to cheap or free rent and the support of loved ones..
All in all, the Hollywood Field Trip was an incredible opportunity to learn about the business, to learn how to behave in a Hollywood meeting and to practice pitching to industry heavyweights. But perhaps the best part of all was getting to know the other extraordinarily talented filmmakers on my trip as we roared up the 405 highway in our eight seater mini-van, sharing hotdogs, jokes and stories about home.
For anyone interested in taking part in the Hollywood Field Trip, the program runs twice a year in April and October. I highly recommend it, but make sure you have at least three finished scripts and a willingness to learn how the business works.
And finally, I.d like to express my utmost gratitude to the generosity of the Australian Director.s Guild and Metro Screen for sending me on this career-defining trip to Los Angeles. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Wolfblood series 4 has changed everything and nothing. Underneath what's new, it's the same ace show with the same positive message…
Wolfblood series 4 hits the ground running... literally. First episode Captivity introduces its new urban setting and action-spy genre with a slickly directed nocturnal street chase that’s more Alias than Eolas. No longer a stranger to technology, formerly wild Wolfblood Jana has a headset and a mission. She’s the best agent in the business, and her prey doesn’t stand a chance.
In a fun twist, said prey turns out not to be a villain but Tj, the errant teenage son of Jana’s boss at swish multinational Segolia. He’s soon sniffed out and found mucking about in Katrina’s newly opened Kafe (a franchise don’t-you-know).
On their way home to mum, Jana and Tj cross paths with a couple of young Wolfbloods in...

With today's news that Marvel has cast 19-year-old Brit Tom Holland as Spider-Man, the first reaction of many was... not that guy from Rev?
Well no, that's Tom Hollander.
But it didn't stop many taking to Twitter to be part of, or laugh at, the confusion:
Inspired casting, but isn't Tom Hollander a bit old for Spider-Man? pic.twitter.com/PYmYUqSfxb
— Adam Batty (@adamhopelies) June 23, 2015
He may be a highly respected, award winning, stage & screen actor but I'm still surprised that Tom Hollander has been cast as Spider-Man...

Can't believe Tom Hollander is the next Spider-Man. It's the natural next step after Rev I reckon. Both about great power & responsibility.

Well no, that's Tom Hollander.

He may be a highly respected, award winning, stage & screen actor but I'm still surprised that Tom Hollander has been cast as Spider-Man...

Wolfblood creator Debbie Moon has confirmed that series 4 has been ordered by Cbbc...
Great news, cariads. This is the Tweet from Wolfblood creator Debbie Moon that we've been waiting to read since series three concluded last October:
"I can now confirm that a fourth season of #wolfblood has been commissioned!"
After what's felt like a very long wait (the series three renewal news came immediately after the series two finale), Wolfblood is returning to Cbbc. We hope you'll join us in a howl of excitement.
Now, stop howling. People are looking.
Moon followed up the message with clarification that as yet, she has no information on cast, filming, transmission dates or anything else, but will pass it all on as soon as it's confirmed. (If you're not already doing so, it's well worth following the show's creator on Twitter here, and regularly visiting her screenwriting blog, here.)

Awards also included the youngest-ever winner of a Bafta.
The Lego Movie won Best Feature Film at the Bafta Children’s Awards in London last night (Nov 23).
The Warner Bros. film, directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, beat competition from Disney’s Frozen and Maleficent as well as Dreamworks’ How To Train Your Dragon 2.
However, Frozen took the top film prize in the Bafta Kids’ vote, based on more than 200,000 votes from children aged 7-14.
The ceremony, held at London’s Roundhouse, also saw nine-year-old Cherry Campbell become the youngest Bafta winner ever, winning Best Performer for her title role in kids drama series Katie Morag.
The show, about a feisty young girl who lives on a Scottish island with her family, also won the award for Best Drama.
Campbell was seven when she started making Katie Morag, based on the books of Mairi Hedderwick.

Wolfblood series 3 changed leads, expanded its world, and grew even stronger. Here’s why the supernatural Cbbc show deserves to live on…
Contains spoilers for Wolfblood series 3.
Still teaching ‘grown-up’ supernatural shows how it’s done is Cbbc’s exemplary Wolfblood, which yesterday concluded its third run in the UK.
Series three cleared a hurdle at which previous fantasy and sci-fi dramas have fallen by losing its lead character yet continuing to prosper. When Aimee Kelly (who played Maddy Smith) decided to move on after the end of series two, Wolfblood pulled off the smoothest change of personnel since Kirstie Alley joined Cheers, then kept on going from strength to strength.
Having carefully written its supporting cast from day one paid Wolfblood enormous dividends when it came to series three, and made the transition to a genuine ensemble piece look effortless (however it may have felt behind the scenes). Instead...

We chatted to the very affable Marcus Garvey about Broadchurch, Wolfblood, children's TV, and his love of Buffy The Vampire Slayer...
Marcus Garvey is a tall and funny man. The first part doesn't come across as much as the second on the phone (which is where I spent a very enjoyable half-hour chatting to him about his parts in Broadchurch and Wolfblood) but it is borne out by his roles. Policemen and comfortingly daft dads are Garvey's self-described speciality so far - hapless, affable types who can deliver a punchline and make you a brew.
I say we chatted about Broadchurch and Wolfblood, in which Garvey plays, respectively, Pete, the ineffectual Family Liaison Officer assigned to the Latimer family, and Daniel Smith, father to Maddy and Wolfblood in his own right. That we did, but it was via his childhood terror at Chocky, the...

Now the finale has aired and a third series has been commissioned, we salute some of the highlights of Cbbc’s Wolfblood series two…
This feature contains plot details for Wolfblood series one and two.
Inventive humour and satisfying storytelling pay little heed to age brackets. Just as Horrible Histories and Adventure Time couldn’t limit their audience to school-age kids if they tried, neither can Cbbc’s Wolfblood, a drama that’s welcomed viewers of all ages into its growing pack.
Not that we interlopers gave Wolfblood any choice; construct a compelling world from likeable characters, peril, comedy and romance, and viewers seeking a decent story won’t be put off by an after-school timeslot. If you build it, they will… oh, you know the rest. Creator Debbie Moon and co. built it, and we came. Loads of us. Kids and grown-ups and everyone in between.

Cbbc's tremendous supernatural drama, Wolfblood, is to return for a third series next year...
If you don't know that we're huge fans of Cbbc's Wolfblood by now, then we obviously need to get better at shouting stuff from rooftops. To sum up, it's great, we love it, and the fact that we fall so far outside of the eight-to-twelve-year-old Cbbc demographic we may as well be on another planet puts us off not one bit.
Wolfblood is smart, funny supernatural UK drama with an admirable head on its shoulders and a beating, human heart. Some 'adult' dramas could learn a great deal from it.

Fantasy action drama Wolfblood returns to Cbbc on September 9th for a fast-paced second series, following the lives of teenagers Maddy and Rhydian and their secret lives as wolfbloods.
Wolfbloods like Maddy and Rhydian have razor sharp senses with an amazing sense of smell and are incredibly fast and super strong. They also change into wolves every full moon…
The 13x30-minute series follows the two seemingly ordinary teenagers who are secretly part of the mysterious wolfblood race who have lived amongst us for centuries, disguising their abilities and blending in. Fans have an extra treat this time too as, in addition to the 13 episodes on Cbbc, there will also be an exclusive ‘secret’ 14th episode which will be shown on the Cbbc Red Button and on the Cbbc website, plus a brand new Wolfblood game which will also be on the Cbbc website.

Are you Team Jacob? Do you find Alcide hotter than Bill and Eric combined? Are Blood and Chocolate and Shiver your favorite novels? If you dig all things werewolf, then prepare yourself for Wolfblood, the freshly acquired pre-teen werewolf property coming to the Disney Channel. Watch your back Teen Wolf.
The live-action drama is a co-production between the U.K. kids channel Cbbc, Germany’s Zdf and Zdf Enterprises, but thanks to Disney, the English-language werewolf fantasy is coming to the U.S., to Latin America, to the Middle East and to some selected European countries.
THR described the pre-teen drama as one which follows “the ordinary and extraordinary struggles” of two teens who are “wolfbloods,” which means they can transform from human to wolf form and back again at will.
The series is filmed in northeast England and stars Aimee Kelly as Maddy Smith, our hero and Bobby Lockwood as Rhydian Morris,...

Big Finish will occasionally hold a writing competition, but for most of the time your examination of what it truly means to be an Ogri will be returned unopened.
