Thanks to Russell for the heads up on BBC Writer’s Room’s latest addition to the ‘net. Read Excalibur, episode nine from the BBC Series Merlin.

Thanks to Karin and DailyScript read the teleplay to the first two episodes of Mumbai Calling. Kenny, a British-born Indian, is transferred to Mumbai to work in an Indian call center. Hilarity ensues. Check out ITV for more info on the sitcom.

Normally, There has gotta be a script to a movie I post. There will be, soon. However, I thought this was too freaking brilliant to wait until Earl passes the annotated script over.

Watch the 5th episode of Stranger Things – Disconnected.

When their prize reality star goes missing, a monolithic network enlists the aid of the entire world to find him.

Written and directed by Earl Newton, based on a story by J. C. Hutchins and Earl Newton.

You can watch the vid at Stranger Things or below. But, I highly recommend that you watch the high quality, full screen version. Launch it, pause it and give it a chance to download. Then turn off the lights and enjoy.

Thanks Russell for the heads up on two new TV scripts up on The BBC Writer’s Room. There are the first episodes of House of Saddam (which is about what you think it is about) and the supernatural series Being Human which Russell tells me has been renewed for a second season. The premise of Being Human, as Russell points out, sounds like the beginning of a joke: a vampire, a werewolf, and a female ghost share a house…

Over on the TV Scripts page we have the second draft annotated script (pdf) for Stranger Things: Episode 4: Latchkeepers written by Matt Wallace notably writer of The Failed Cities Monolouges and directed by Earl Newton.

Among the locksmiths of time and space, Kalypto is a third-rate immortal. He spends his eternity filing the Universe’s garbage, until a psychopathic client makes him an offer he can’t refuse.

First watch the episode (in three parts), then read the script annotated by screenwriter Matt Wallace and director Earl Newton. Thanks Matt and Earl for allowing us to host the script.

The Stranger Things series, in addition to being the first science fiction series shot in high definition, has also made the leap from the web to television. The online anthology series will appear on cable channel Illusion On-Demand.

All the scripts to every episode of the Stranger Things series are available on the TV Scripts page. – Don

Thanks Tom for the heads up on six teleplays from Season 30 (season 4 of the ‘new’ series) of Dr. Who. These come from the promotional site The Writer’s Tale by Russell T Davies (showrunner for the first four new seasons of Dr. Who) and Benjamin Cook. The book explores Russell’s work on Series Four, revealing how he plans the series and works with the show’s writers, where he gets his ideas for plot, character and scenes and how actors are cast and other creative decisions are made. The book is available from Amazon.com.

Edit: Thanks Peter for the clarification. This is Season 4 of the new series. Counted from the beginning of the original series, it would be Season 30. However, it is the 11th Doctor (canonical). – Don

Edit again: David Tennant, again as corrected by Peter, plays the 10th Doctor.
