5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful and practical, 3 Feb 2009
By Silso (Basingstoke UK) - See all my reviews
I bought this without any other reviews which I normally never do. However I wasn't disappointed. The sections are very practical, and very detailed. All the different areas of writing are covered eg dramas, sitcoms, soaps, etc with the pros and cons of writing for each of them plus the chances of getting any accepted. A very useful purchase and one that I can keep going back to when I think about trying something new.

5.0 out of 5 stars So good written you'll read it over and over again!!, 12 Mar 2009
By Nikolaos Chatzistefanou (Keratsini, GREECE) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got this idea of writing my own script. Through various searches on the internet I saw that this was not as easy as I thought. So I turned to amazon for help!! And guess what!! The cavalry arrived with the form of this book! It has everything inside for the beginner! How-to's for all types of scripts for TV: sitcoms, dramas, movies etc.!!
It's loaded with examples of dialogues and it's very easy to read and understand!!
A total rec from me!!!
