1. British teen moves to America and is forced to adapt to the American Roman Catholic strict in discipline style of life when her Aunt is granted custody in the will of her parents when they die in a tragic car accident.
2. Opposite way round of first idea where a diciplined American teen moves to England.
3. Father looses his son in a tragica accident
4. A friends looses her best friend in a tragica accident, and her spirit returns to haunt/continue the friendship with her
5. Drama with sub sci-fi/fantasy theme of a man who gets stuck in the future - like the opposite if 'Life on Mars'
6. Lake District murders, perhaps involving a southern rural family who go on a family holiday in the Lake District.
7. TV adaptation of 'Artemis Fowl'
8. TV adaptation of 'His Dark Materials'
I'm aware pretty much every idea involves death, but it's a drama and it's all I know! Still brainstorming ideas.
I'm deterred to picking an idea involving death, as I think a lot of people entering the competition will have deaths in their scripts too :S

BBC Scriptwriting Talent Competition
I have a serious challenge on my hands. I have learnt to read my uni emails for frequently, as I have only just found out a few days ago that there is a BBC Talent competition to write a drama or comedy script 30-90 mins long to submit to the BBC with a chance to to given oppertunities and mentioning within the BBC, also the top 5 students get given full professional report on their work.
So, coming up with an idea, treatment, research and this 30-90 minute drama (not comedy cuz I'm really not that funny) script and have it sent to the BBC Writers room for the 9th Nov, which is Friday, and now is the early hours of Wednesday morning. I start a new job on Thursday from 12am, and I'm filiming a forensic scene for my single camera project in my uni group at half 12 this afternoon. Can I pull it off? We'll just have to see!
At the moment I've been researching what the BBC have done so far in drama series and serials, I thought about doing a film but I think it will be harder to come up with an idea, plus they don't accept detailed treatments, which is probs what I'll get carried away with.
Wish me luck, a job in the BBC is really what I am aiming for afterall once I graduate!
Zoe out until this project is complete
