Ab morgen auf BBC 1 - ist Richards Projekt da überhaupt noch wettbewerbsfähig?

Das ist ja nun schon länger in Planung und meine erste Reaktion damals war, sie haben RAs Projekt gestohlen. Hauptfigur ist Elizabeth Woodville, Frau von RIIIs Bruder. RIII wird gespielt von jemandem der wesentlich jünger ist als RA. Scheint also eine andere Perspektive zu haben als als RAs Projekt und zu einer früheren Zeit zu spielen. RAs RIII könnte das durchaus ergänzen, wenn es gut ankommt, glaube aber nicht, dass die BBC einen so ähnlichen Stoff verfilmen würde.

Dear Philip

Just had to get in touch with regards your recent work on my struggling drama script through your reading service to let you know what has happened.

After taking on board your notes and comments I went ahead with a rewrite – a MAJOR rewrite. And now, it is optioned and in development!

Your notes were thorough (oh boy were they!), clear, and honest and helped me see exactly where the script wasn’t pulling its weight and the issues that needed to be addressed.

So a huge-big ’thank you’ cos having these has helped me get this drama ‘market ready’ and also helped me to further understand and hone my craft.

Oh, and one final note …..

I’ll be back. ‘

Philippa Langley, Screenwriter
