High-end British television drama. Read from their published slate rather than a stated brief.

Read from their recent slate, not stated by them.

How to approach

Their contact page says they regret they can no longer accept unsolicited material, that for administrative reasons they do not respond to individual submissions, and that anything sent will not be read and will be destroyed.

The phrase no longer is worth registering: this was once a more open door and is not now. That is the direction of travel across most of this directory, which is part of why the agencies that still read cold matter so much.

The PreList verdict

Who this is for: agented drama writers. The company works at a scale where material arrives through representation and broadcaster commissions.

Who should skip it: everyone approaching cold. There is no partial version of this policy, and no reply to expect either.
