Line of Duty creator Jed Mercurio is after writers from Wales to join his brand-new mentorship scheme. The programme aims to give greater opportunity to those who live outside the capital and who are underrepresented within the UK’s London-centric TV industry.
Jed, who is behind hit TV shows like Line of Duty, Bodyguard, Bodies and more, wants to address the disparity long-held within the industry and the challenges faced by aspiring writing talent in the UK regions.
Successful applicants will have a chance to work with TV talent who have been behind some of the UK's biggest small screen hits, including Marnie Dickens (writer & creator of Thirteen BBC3), Emma Frost (writer of Jamaica Inn BBC1), Steven Moffat (writer of Sherlock BBC1), Vinay Patel (writer of Murdered By My Father BBC3) and Jack Thorne (writer of His Dark Materials TV series BBC1).
