The Agency clients top the Brit List

Awards TV

The Brit List has published its first television rankings of unproduced drama scripts from British writers, with 20 making the final list. The scripts are voted on by industry members. Joint-top of this year’s list with the most nominations were Emily Marcuson’s AUTUMN and Laura Grace’s DARKLANDS. They were closely followed by Matt Barry’s script QUEENS, and DUST by Mark Denton & Jonny Stockwood.
