Returning British television drama for ITV and the BBC, with a strong crime and period strand. Read from their published slate rather than a stated brief.
Read from their recent slate, not stated by them.
How to approach
Their site states in a single line that they do not accept unsolicited scripts or materials. No agent route, referral route or submissions address is named alongside it, and the general enquiries address on the same page is for business contact rather than submissions.
With no route published at all, the honest read is that material reaches them through agents and broadcaster relationships. That is a harder door than a repped-only one, because there is nothing to aim at.
The PreList verdict
Who this is for: represented television writers working at returning-series scale, particularly in crime and period drama. Mammoth makes the kind of show that is commissioned by a broadcaster rather than acquired from a spec, so the work that matters arrives through relationships.
Who should skip it: everyone without an agent, and anyone hoping the general enquiries address is a side entrance. It is not, and using it that way tends to burn the contact rather than open it.
