BBC Writersroom Script Room COMEDY 2020
Deadline: Mon 20 Apr 2020
BBC Writersroom's annual window for unsolicited comedy scripts (TV, film, radio, stage or online) will open at 10am on Monday 23rd March 2020 and close at 5pm on Monday 20th April 2020. Entrants must be resident in the UK or Republic of Ireland.

Our Script Room open calls are not competitions but a means by which the BBC seeks out the best writing talent in either Drama or Comedy. We look for writers with the strongest potential to be developed and produced for BBC broadcast.

You could be new to writing or new to the BBC but equally, you may be a playwright looking to write for TV, or you’ve written for radio and would like to try your hand at writing for CBBC.

We see all scripts as a calling card to showcase a writer’s talent, ability and sense of humour. We are especially looking for distinctive voices - and scripts that express those voices.

At the end of the process, a group of writers (usually between 10 and 15) will be selected to join the BBC Comedy Room writer development group for 2020/21.
