Debut on Two by Vicky Licorish

This book is a practical guide to tie in with the television series and writing competition of the same name. Launched to encourage budding playwrights, the campaign started with a series of regional workshops led by Philippa and Vicky and culminates in the 8 prize-winning plays being broadcast on BBC2. The book collects these 8 scripts, together with the judges' comments on why they were chosen. Debut on Two also contains expert advice from some of the most well-known and respected writers in television today. This includes a chapter on how to present your work, stage and camera directions and scene construction from Ray Jenkins ("Women in White" and "Juliet Bravo"): different approaches to comedy from Victoria Wood and Paul Jackson; adaptations of novels for the screen from Fay Weldon ("The She Devil", "Heart of the Country" and "Pride and Prejudice"); how to use images to replace narrative from Michael Wilcox ("Inspector Morse").
