New Media | The Jobbing Scriptwriter

https://phillbarron.wordpress.com/new-media

Making ALL the mistakes so you don't have to. Persona is a daily, 3 minute soap opera created exclusively for Smart Phones. It’s the first in the UK, possibly the world – although some people say Japan have had these for ages, so probably not. You download a completely free app and get 3 minutes of top-notch drama delivered right to your phone. I co-created the format, hired most of the writers and oversaw the scripts for the first six seasons as well as writing a number of the stories myself. I'm a UK s...

Scrivener's palsy: March 2009

http://leethomson.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Don't come crying to me about spoilers. Monday, March 23, 2009. A great ending - so say we all. Well, some of us. The big controversy this weekend: not how Tottenham beat Chelsea, but the end of one of TV's greatest ever space operas. SPOILERS. OH YES. The internet backlash to the finale of Battlestar Galactica. Has been enormous, way more than The Sopranos'. I have no problem with either. Fine, but Battlestar Galactica's. God is real, and unknowable, and his existence is proven by the text. Let's not fo...

Deadlines and Diamonds: FInd The Lady

http://deadlinesanddiamonds.blogspot.com/2013/09/find-lady.html

Monday, 2 September 2013. There’s a new game sweeping the internet. Have you played it yet? It’s not Candy Crush or Scrabble. It’s called ‘Count The Women in the BBC Drama Trailer’. Want to play? Here you go…. Now, I’ve had estimates on Twitter ranging from 3 to 20. There are bonus points to be earned. How many lines of moody dialogue were delivered in a female voice? I’ll give you a clue; it’s a number between zero and fuck all. How many of the shows featured have a female lead? How many of the women?

Deadlines and Diamonds: A Kick In The Teeth

http://deadlinesanddiamonds.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-kick-in-teeth.html

Monday, 2 February 2015. A Kick In The Teeth. Rejection. It’s the one thing you can be sure of in this job. It just comes with the territory. It’s part of the learning curve. It makes you a better writer in the long run. You just have to get used to it. That’s what everyone says. We’re all so good at putting on our brave faces, but I want to let mine slip just for a few minutes. I want to acknowledge how it feels to have something you’ve worked so hard on put in the round file. I love being a writer but ...

Deadlines and Diamonds: February 2014

http://deadlinesanddiamonds.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 5 February 2014. As regular visitors to this blog will know, I am not a stranger to fits of rage, fury and general kick-the-cat anger. I try to channel them into humour and not kicking cats. Before anyone calls the RSPCA; I don’t own a cat. And thank God for that, because something happened last week that would have had me firmly planting my boot up Chairman Meow’s fundament. But that’s not what put me in the bad mood. Have a look at the categories. The very least that the Guardian could have ...

Deadlines and Diamonds: April 2013

http://deadlinesanddiamonds.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 16 April 2013. The Wrong (United) State Of Mind. By the way, I bought the Wii so I could get fit without leaving the house. Yeah, that happened. Still, as I watched episode after episode, one question hung in the air. It’s something I believe every TV writer asks him/herself when watching something they really love that comes from across the pond. Why aren’t we making shows like this in the UK? I’m quite sure you could add to that list but those are just my personal favourites. They’re not...
