Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Who else wants to write for the 'soaps'? 'Soaps' like Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Casualty, Holby City, and of course the ever-popular Archers on BBC Radio 4 all need new storylines to keep them fresh and that means new writers. It really could be your lines being uttered by an actor in a scene on tv or radio.
