Would it be possible to know what you're defining as 'professional' payment? Payment at Writer's Guild minimums? Bursaries for writing courses? Payment for teaching during which scripts were written? Expenses? Profit share?
I did think about this when I was reading the T&C... But at the end of the day, this isn't an un-solicoted script, so there's no £3K upfront... provided that I got my 10% of box (if I won of course ) I'm not going to complain too much... after all, we retain copywright to everything other than the programme - and you can bet your 'bums on seats' that the first couple of nights are going to be sell outs...
I'd like to see 'The Production Team's' Responce to this thread...
