[email protected] / www.studiocanaltvseries.com Scriptedp02 StudioCanal Apr16.indd 1 16/03/2016 13:52 In this issue Editor’s Note History has always been the most fertile soil for scriptwriters: what is more dramatic than the events of real-life, after all? History plays a pretty big role in this issue of TBI Scripted, too. Our in-depth reports on new high-end dramas coming to market take us to post-World War II Paris and the brutal 18th and 19th Century worlds of the United States. The Collection – an Amazon Studios, BBC Worldwide, France 3, 6 10 Lookout Point and Federation Entertainment coproduction – is set in a high-end Parisian house that emerged at the end of WWII, while Roots, a reworking of the revolutionary 1977 ABC miniseries, takes a harrowing journey into the world of African slave trading that existed in early America before and after the country’s official establishment on July 4, 1776, while showing how an enslaved family survives the hardships. Making one of history’s larger-than-life figures, Queen Victoria, relatable, was the challenge for Daisy Goodwin, who we know best in TV circles as the former ‘head girl’ of Silver River Productions, the UK factual producer she founded. Her first-person account of writing an ITV drama about the younger years of the famous British royal, who ruled the United Kingdom from 1837 to 1901, focuses on imaging how a person goes from being a youthful teenager to the most powerful person in England overnight. Imagining the future is an equally popular activity for television’s best 12 14 writing talent. We hear from Braquo creator Olivier Marchal, who tells us about his new dystopian drama Section Zero, which considers a Europe in which evil mega-corporations have taken control of the continent and the police are forced to become gun-toting freedom fighters. Author Lawrence Hill had a similar idea with The Illegal, which we review in our regular feature ‘Award winner’. Set in a dark near- future Europe, the Canada-created series, which went down a treat in Berlin’s European Film Market, pulls in themes relevant to today’s world, such as immigration and how we treat refugees. 2 0 16 20 Our immediate future at TBI Scripted is a trip to Cannes for MIPTV, where the first MIPDrama Screenings will take place. We’ll see you there, or perhaps at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival. Contents TV drama?

The trio worked up CBC’s critically acclaimed The Book of Negroes, which last year gave the Canadian pubcaster its biggest ratings for an original drama since The Road to Avonlea in January 1990. The result for cable net BET in US cable was similarly strong numbers. The Book of Negroes was screened at Berlinale/EFM’s first Drama Series Day last year, which D’Oliveira describes as “a great experience”. After that, the festival’s organisers asked the production team if they had other projects that could be pitched, bringing our story into 2016. D’Oliveira quips that the organisers loved The Illegal as “it wasn’t a crime drama set in Europe”. It is, in fact, based on a best-selling Hill novel, just as The Book of Negroes was.

It stood back in its gloomy, narrow strips of uncared-for, smoky gardens, whose broken iron railings were supposed to protect it from the surging traffic of a road which was always roaring with the rattle of busses, cabs, drays, and vans, and the passing of people who were shabbily dressed and looked as if they were either going to hard work or coming from it, or hurrying to see if they could find some of it to do to keep themselves from going hungry.

No longer a source of unreflective nostalgia for reactionaries, it is now being represented as a more nuanced entity that reflects the complexities of socialist society. The black and white narratives that shaped cultural memory of the GDR during the first fifteen years after the Wende have largely been replaced by more complicated tones of grey.
