Sunday 6th October
Having discussed the scene-by-scene outline it was time to allocate scenes to individual writers. It was agreed that, where possible, writers would be given a set of consecutive scenes to assist with continuity and the overall shape of the episode. Tim very kindly volunteered to do the allocations. Barry will be focused on the beginning four scenes and will also write scene 18.


Tim will then provide scenes 5 - 7 as well as Scene 19. Chrissie and Angela will be writing scenes 8 - 10, Richard will be providing scenes 11, 12 and 13. From there Carolyn will be writing scenes 14 - 17 and Debbie will write the last 3 scenes.
