OH, YOU'RE A TV writer are you?
You watching Charlie Brooker? Yes yes. You admire the hell out of Dead Set? You've seen most of Screenwipe, even if you're not in the UK?
No?
Tsk Tsk.
Today, Dixon's got the hookup to a long, long special (first broadcast in December 2008) that is just some of the UK's top TV writers talking about what it's like to do the job. Russel T. Davies from Doctor Who, Paul Abbot from State of Play and Shameless, Jesse Armstrong, Sam Bain from Peep Show, Graham Linehan from The IT Crowd and Father Ted, Tony Jordan (Eastenders, Life on Mars.)
There. He's just killed an hour for you. But if you want to find out how to break in, what your personality's like, and how real TV writers feel about writing, well....there it is.
