New commissions for Dave and Gold channels
The Dave and Gold TV channels are to commission a series of half-hour comedy and drama scripts from underrepresented talent across the UK.
Parent company UKTV has launched two initiatives to find new writers, with a commitment to get their work on to screen.
The first is an anthology of four half-hour programmes to be broadcast on Dave and created by ‘anybody who feels that their voice isn’t currently heard clearly on our screens’.
UKTV is putting out an open call for script samples of ten pages of less for projects that will ‘tell the stories the writers wish to tell, ranging from the comedic to the dramatic’.
