Question:
We here at Green Wing Series 3 think we should also make a Christmas special. Only problem is, how long it is. The choices are:

Choices:
The same length as a regular episode
Shorter
100 mins
90 mins
Other (if so, please say what)

I said the same length as a regular episode cause from what I've heard the special isn't supposed to be any different from a regular episode and is just basically keeping us all in suspense and will tie up all the plot threads. I think it will be 65 mins like all the others (including ads) bt I would rather it was 90 mins or 2 episodes-worth!!

I reckon it should be 90 minutes because that's a nice round duration, and it is a special, and a finale. And since it's a finale it should be longer.

Well, I had an idea for the ending, and if we use that, we may do a fourth series aswell.

Just read your episode 1. I'm afraid that on screen it wouldn't last more than 15 minutes and after editing no more than five. I wouldn't worry about your Christmas special until you've written at least twenty times as much for your episode 1. And I think you need to look at the action because up to now it's just banter. I'm not trying to put you off but constructive criticism is all part of the game. Try writing something completely new, something that is pure you. It also occurred to me that if there's an epsiode 9 coming up your episode one isn't going to be relevant.

Lets say.... no.

I'm not a writer at all. It's just that, when Series 2 ended, somebody suggested that the fans write a third series, and I thought it was a good idea.

I noticed that somebody voted for "Other". Who is this person, and what time did they want?

It is a good idea for the fans to write it. If you send it to Channel 4 and say you'll give it them for free, you might be in with a chance.

I think the reason people are voting for shorter is because we're not as god as the actual writers. I mean, they can't take 1 hour of my work, but they'd be happy to sit down and watch 2 and a half hours of somebody else's.
