The @BBC now needs to make a public statement about how it will support, & provide actual credits for, those breaking into TV. With #Holby & #Doctors gone I don't know where new writers & those wanting to work in editorial will go. The pipeline isn't just broken, it's gone.

Working in scripted you don't always get a chance to celebrate milestones or feel part of the gang. Read-throughs are therefore a much valued opportunity to see hard work come together. #Vera13 Congrats PMT, @littlelordliam @willnichmedia & all the cast & crew. Filming awaits...

I'm getting through my script pile but disappointingly they're all male writers (but 1). Female writers reach out but they don't seem to share their work so freely & I can't champion anyone if I don't know their writing. Ladies please let your work do the talking. Have faith. X

How many people does it take to get a script on it's feet? A story producer, script editor & writer(s) see the process through from inception to completion, & a script supervisor ensures what's in script actually gets filmed - alcohol is not always part of the process. ✍️📺

I've had a 6-month break from writing so extra delighted to get stuck back in with the help of @LDNPlaywrights who will be supporting the development of #Temperance for the next 12-months. 😄

One thing I should point out on behalf of all freelance script editors/developers/producers is that while we love to work with writers we can't always do so (as it is for writers, money & time is sometimes in short supply, and we have to prioritise our workload).

A collection of messy broken people blindly wading through relationships & marriage. Yet this show is also heartbreakingly romantic. It's skill is that it is cynical & hopeful all at the same time & always authentic, raw & real. #TheSplit3 #AbiMorgan

#LivEllo is not made of flesh and blood but pure untethered creativity. #BodyShow @sohotheatre is the real Barbie Oppenheimer mash up the world needs. Disquieting, funny, deliciously odd & powerfully relevant. Great to make your acquaintance #FrankieThompson , what a legend pair.

I've spent today chatting to lots of ace female writers about what female-led shows we can make & what issues we want to see explored on screen. Today I like my job even more. #InternationalWomensDay

Despite a politics related set back (aka pesky Conservative leadership debate) I finally got to see my first @BBCHolbyCity credit. Great episode #andybayliss @chris_clenshaw #pauletterandall - all the hard work payed off. 😃

Keen to see more of Bethan & her mum. #InMySkin is the best thing I've seen on @bbcthree in ages. Her desperate attempts to keep above water and protect her mum felt like a story worth following - she's not your average superficial teen. Well done @KayDLlew

2/2 I normally only read the work of those I've met or have been introduced to (unless specifically looking for a project) as there is only so much reading I can do (unfortunately). I have made a list of everyone who has been in touch & will respond when time allows. X

We must support new writers and let them train and learn from the big guns - otherwise we run dry of talent soon. Couldn't agree more.

Let's talk more about ageism in the arts. Your ideas have value even if you're not a 'bright young thing'.

Me refusing to give my age (out of fear- ridiculous, huh?) bit sharing our experiences of direct and indirect ageism in a business that should embrace all voices. Coincidentally I'm wearing the same jumper today that I'm wearing in the photo 🤭

Just had a development chat with someone way smarter than me about issues so above my intellect/brain capacity - but discussing & learning about areas outside my comfort zone is one of the reasons I love my job. #scriptdevelopment

'Housekeeping? Yes Chef. Good Chef'; let's make regular debriefs & check-ins a part of the everyday; team work makes the dream work. Exhausting to partake in but the love keeps simmering & thickening - just like real family. #TheBear #ChristopherStorer
