BECTU Vision & River City Script & Story Morning

Organised by BECTU Vision in collaboration with the River City script and story teams, this exclusive Script & Story Information Morning happened on Tuesday 26th November 2024 at their studios in Dumbarton, Scotland. It offered invaluable insights for emerging talent eager to learn more about the inner workings of a script department on a continuing drama.

Attendees heard directly from the professionals who keep River City’s storylines running smoothly.

A series of engaging talks covered:

  • The structure and responsibilities of the script and story departments
  • The journey of a River City episode – from initial idea through to the shoot
  • A day in the life of a Script Editor working on a long-running drama, including the skills and mindset the role requires

The event closed with a guided tour of the River City backlot, giving participants a unique glimpse into the show’s production environment.

This was a rare chance for the fortunate attendees to learn from the very people shaping one of Scotland’s flagship dramas.
