I can't promise your idea will get made but you will get useful tips, advice and feedback. Maybe you've got a great idea for a drama, sitcom, game show, documentary or factual series. Let's hear it.

It’s about... (try and sum up your idea in one sentence, think headline, not full explanation).
So in each episode… (In another couple of sentences tell us about the format, who would take part? What they would do?)
I know this would make a great show because… (Why do we need to see this? Why would viewers enjoy it? Is it fun, dramatic entertaining for example.)
So that’s my idea, hope you like it.” (END there, don’t say goodbye)
