Check out the below from production company Amber Crane:
We are currently on the look-out for the next great British comedy series to present to the UK’s leading commissioning editors. Amber Crane Media is building stronger relationships with the Public Service Broadcasters in the UK and we want to represent the undiscovered British writing talent with the aim of having your comedy scripts greenlit for production.
We have opened our submissions policy so we will now be accepting unsolicited scripts from unrepresented (or represented) writers, predominantly in the United Kingdom. Our terrestrial channels have specific needs, and they are very good at understanding what works well for them, so we’re looking for scripts that closely match the comedy briefs for our TV Commissioners.
We are predominantly working with ITV, Channel 4 and UKTV for comedy script submissions. We do a lot of other work in other areas, including production directly to Amazon Prime, but we feel that our primary engagement partners for comedy commissioning work well for us. Of course, each channel has its own expectations, as they have their own comedic identity.
What we aim to do is to match your script with the right channel to ensure a good chance of consideration for progression towards that ultimate goal – production greenlight. While we do enjoy receiving scripts that do not strictly fall within these boundaries, we do find that a direct correlation with a channel identity is a script’s best chance.
