I think I might have given you all my unproduced scripts now - at least all the ones that I have on my computer, there are a few more on floppy disc (Coathanger Tim for example, though I wrote that on an Amstrad word processor so think there’s little chance of finding that). Stew and I wrote a sitcom called Hostages for an American network in 1999ish, but if I can even find that file I bet it’s in the wrong format.

Anyway this is the first script I wrote for the sitcom Breeders. I think it’s fair to say that this whole experience went very badly. In fact if I hadn’t already been contracted to write another series of Relativity I think I might have stopped writing all together after this. And to be fair I haven’t done much else since this.

This story still feels a bit too raw for general consumption, so this time the background and the script are going to be for paid subs only. If you want to read the script that cursed me and what I think went wrong and who was to blame (it was me) then why finally make the jump to a paid sub?
