CITY OF LONDON - DAY 1 An aerial shot of The Shard and surrounding skyscrapers glistening in the capital’s financial centre. 2 INT. THE SHARD, CORRIDOR/MEETING ROOM - DAY 2 Shiny elevator doors open and a smartly dressed junior banker steps out clutching some printouts and strides down the corridor of an impossibly modern office building. He walks purposefully, checking his hair in the glass paneling, running his fingers through it, straightening his cuffs. It’s obvious he has a pretty high opinion of himself. He comes to a door, opens it with a pass-card, and we follow him into a large meeting room with a commanding view of the city of London. Two high powered and stony faced executives are sitting at a conference table and another is standing, looking out of the window. Two youthful solar company entrepreneurs are presenting a business proposition. It’s not a meeting that any Detectorists fan would want to be in. ENTREPRENEUR No noise. No odours, no moving parts. Effectively it’s a lid. A power-generating lid of solar panels that we pop over the farmland, switch on, sit back and pray for sunshine... The junior hands the printouts to the standing executive who takes them without looking at him. JUNIOR The figures and next year’s forecast sir.
