Welcome to the Script Room, our brand new system for receiving unsolicited original scripts.

We’ve changed from a rolling submissions system to one with specific windows when we will accept writers’ work.  

The recent Script Room window is now closed for submissions.

We received more than 2,600 scripts and due to this volume of submissions, we will not be in a position to acknowledge individual submissions until May. Please do not email or phone for confirmation. We will contact writers using the email address provided on cover sheets. Please be aware that emails can go astray and you should check your spam/junk folders and settings before enquiring if you haven’t received an acknowledgement. If you haven’t heard from us by the third week of May, and you have checked all your email folders thoroughly, then you can email us at that point for confirmation that your script has arrived.
