Obviously, as has been said in another thread, this is just feeling
its way and will take a while to settle down as a format. IMO none of
the scenes nor the way they were played would have been out of place
in an Afternoon Drama or Classic Serial but stitching them all
together as one seems to be quite a challenge.

I am just idly wondering: when was the last time Carole Simpson
Solazzo wrote an episode? The others on the team are great writers in
their own -erme- right but I always thought what was special about CSS
was the way she seemed to write for an entire week yet each scene had
its own identity. I would love to see her have a crack at this.

Incidentally, I did try to find out what she has been up to recently
but her Twitter account (as Carole Solazzo) is only open to her
followers: a condition where I am doubly disadvantaged by not even
having a Twitter account.

Oh, and another thing. The format is so Anneka Stranded that I wonder
they did not think of asking Mike Walker to contribute a script or
two.

I can't help with radio but IMdb tells me she wrote 108 episodes of
Hollyoaks last year.

I've requested permission to follow her. As my own output is tiny and only
in response to others, I don't know why she might object.

Oh dear. 1 not so good. 2 better. 3 not bad.
But 4 was toe-curlingly awful.
Self-indulgent by SW. Not fuzzy and endearing at all.
Please can it be over. Oh good, it is.
