How to approach

One page, and make it scripted television. Their submissions line is short and exact: no unsolicited scripts, but they will happily read one-page scripted TV treatments, and they will get in touch if they like it.

That single page has to do everything, so use it as a pitch rather than a synopsis. Premise, world, lead character, why now, and the shape of a series rather than the plot of an episode. Do not attach the script as well, and do not send a feature, because neither is what they asked for. If nothing comes back, treat it as a pass; the only response they describe is a positive one.

The PreList verdict

Who this is for: television writers with a series idea and no agent. This is, on the evidence of this directory, close to unique: of the UK and Irish production companies checked for this dataset, this is the only one publishing a route an unrepresented writer can actually use.

Who should skip it: feature writers, and anyone who cannot get the idea onto one page. The format is the filter.

That rarity is worth stating plainly rather than dressing up. Almost every other production company here requires an agent, so a company that reads a page from anybody is doing something the rest of the industry has decided not to do. Use it well and do not send four ideas in a week.
