The cold purity of truth. For Anna, the colour of lies is clementine. Anger is a deep, crusted red and fear a burnt ochre. Only her older sister Billie knows about her synaesthe- sia and how it lets her read a person’s emotions, even when they’re trying to hide them. Agent: Rowan Lawton At 32 years old, Anna is adrift with no job. Her most meaningful relation- ship is in the past and she has nothing to tie her to one place, until Billie UK Publisher: Orion gets her a position as mother’s help with her neighbours, the O’Keefe’s.

Even her sis- ter, who loathes gossip, believes something inappropriate had taken place between Gabriel and Lily. The more Anna learns, the fewer people she dares trust.

They are waiting to find out if their third and final round of IVF has been successful. Seeking distraction she takes up photography and throws herself into ex-pat life, but is horrified by the service culture she finds. Filipina maids have to work 6 to 7 days a week, their passports are often confiscated and they are banned from having boyfriends.

She lives in Lon- don with her husband and daughter. 5 GENERAL FICTION 8 WOMEN IN SEARCH OF A PARTY Agent: Rachel Mills Jonathan Pett & Fiorella Ruas Translation: Furniss Lawton US: Furniss Lawton An upmarket women’s fiction debut with a darkly comic twist, from well- established stage and TV writing duo Jonathan Pett & Fiorella Ruas. Film/TV: Furniss Lawton Photographer Isabella has fallen into depression a year before turning 40. On Submission Spring 2017 Despite receiving the biggest commission of her career, and living what seems to be a wonderful life in the South of France, she is unable to pick up her camera to complete it. Her husband Simon has the idea of organis- ing a surprise 40th birthday party in an attempt to pull her out of depres- sion. We meet Isabella’s seven best college friends as they leave behind their partners, children, pets, careers and everyday problems—all anxious for very different reasons to reunite. The chosen venue is an idyllic, luxurious property that Simon has borrowed from his hideously immature, misogy- nist millionaire neighbour and friend Mitch on the condition that he leaves for the weekend. But Mitch, instead of vacating the property, has in fact wired the whole place with video cameras. His intention: to spy on the women from his forest hideaway and then make a highly seductive entrance. In the meantime, the women rediscover themselves as they rediscover each other, as secrets are revealed, home truths delivered and revelations made. Just as things reach an emotional apex, they find they have another prob- lem. Mitch, no longer able to contain himself rushes into the driveway - unfortunately colliding with their drunken drive out for cigarettes. The women know they all have important decisions to make in their lives, starting with what to do with the body of their host Mitch… 8 WOMEN IN SEARCH OF A PARTY is a caustic, darkly humorous look at friendship, relationships and ambition, dealing along the way with di- vorce, widowhood, singlehood, early menopause, boredom, breast cancer and what it means to be turning forty; with scenes of hilarious comedy and deep pathos along the way. JONATHAN AND FIORELLA'S writing background is in theatre and TV. Their first play The Pariahs was selected to be part of the Royal National Theatre Studio’s New Writing Festival.

Signed: '~"\ ~~Ue6b Alban Webb Declaration: The work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order.

August 2013 ABSTRACT From the late 1970s on, as competition intensified, British broadcasters searched for new ways to cover the escalating budgets for top-end drama. A common industry practice, overseas co-productions seems the fitting answer for most broadcasters; for the BBC, however, creating programmes that appeal to both national and international markets could mean being in conflict with its public service ethos. Paradoxes will always be at the heart of an institution that, while pressured to be profitable, also carries a deep-rooted disapproval of commercialism.
