Award-winning Dr Who screenwriter Bob Baker will be sharing the secrets of his screenwriting success in a special talk to take place at The Hen and Chicken Pub (The Comedy Box) in Bristol on Wednesday 18 May 2016 at 8pm.

Entitled The Golden Rules of Screenwriting, Bob will draw on his own phenomenally successful and prestigious career to illuminate the city’s scripting wannabes with sage advice on writing for TV, film and particular genres, as well as ways to conceive programme ideas, how to write dialogue and how to sell your script.

To illustrate his stellar 50-year career in the screenwriting field spanning TV, film and theatre, the talk will be interspersed with a selection of short film clips.

Baker – who was born in Bristol and has won two BAFTAs for his work – also invented the Time Lord’s famous companion K-9, but his output hasn’t just been restricted to all things Whovian. He has also written episodes for the TV shows Bergerac and Shoestring, acted as an HTV script editor for a few years, and written for various cult fantasy series including King of the Castle and Into the Labyrinth.

His Bristol connections extend to co-writing the Wallace and Gromit shorts and the movie, Curse of the Were-Rabbit. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session after which he’ll talk to members of the audience and sign autographs.

Advance tickets are £10 for general admission and £8 concessions and can be purchased at cinemescript.eventbrite.co.uk. The Hen and Chicken is located at: 210 North Street Bedminster, Bristol BS3 1JF
