Roland Moore EURO Guest Transcript February 26, 2012


#Scriptchat TOPIC:
EURO: Guest Roland Moore @RolandMooreTV, creator of LAND GIRLS, talks writing period pieces.
USA: Oscars

Tonight’s chat with Roland Moore was brilliant! If you want to know more about writing period pieces, read on. You won’t be disappointed. USA drank with the #glush crowd as we watched the Oscars, so there’s no transcript for that portion… what happens at #glush, stays at #glush. Enjoy! @jeannevb

@RolandMooreTV: Land Girls were active in both World Wars, but the drama had to tie in with WWII (the reason it was commissioned). #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:04 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @RolandMooreTV You approached Land Girls from content as opposed to wanting to write in a particular time period? #scriptchat

@rosieclaverton: @rolandmooretv Are there elements of period drama considered too expensive for TV? #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:05 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @RolandMooreTV Why was there the WWII restriction on the story? #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:05 pm           



 
@antonsays: @RolandMooreTV what had you written before and had you had anything made? #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:05 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: Yes, the time period came later. The Land Girls were active in both wars, and I was naturally drawn to WWII anyway #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:05 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @RolandMooreTV Did you originally pitch it for WWII or did that come about after the pitch? #scriptchat

@RolandMooreTV: The WWII decision came from BBC Daytime as they wanted a series to commemorate the war. I had Land Girls proposal ready to send #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:06 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @RolandMooreTV Loved that you took what is a traditionally male-centric arena (WW2) and put women at the front - new POV #scriptchat

@lupiilu: @RolandMooreTV I was reading about The Land Girls earlier, is there a script available online? #scriptchat

@RolandMooreTV: @bang2write Yes, I love writing female chrs and it had a strong sense of shining a spotlight on the importance of women in war #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @RolandMooreTV How much Research did you do for Land Girls? #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:10 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @Deacyliam Lots of channels are commissioning for the first time. Just look at the EPG to get a raft of opps. #scriptchat

@RolandMooreTV: @Spockwriter I think period is a dressing as tech may change and some social mores, but people are always the same. #scriptchat

February 26, 2012, 8:12 pm           



 
@grantmccall: @RolandMooreTV Is it often necessary to forego historical accuracy (setting, place or time) to facilitate the story? #scriptchat

February 26, 2012, 8:13 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: There are tropes of any period that you have to confront. Eg: pregnancy out of wedlock happened so often we couldn’t ignore it #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:13 pm           



 
@TaroJ: @RolandMooreTV @spockwriter how about dialogue and making your characters feel of the time but still relevant to today #scriptchat

@RolandMooreTV: @deacyliam Yes, send out things you are passionate about. If they get rejected, try somewhere else or rewrite and try again. #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:14 pm           



 
@lupiilu: @RolandMooreTV It's a shame that the US have Variety to update the industry, but the UK have no equivalent #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:14 pm           



 
@rosieclaverton: @rolandmooretv @SpockWriter I feel the same way about sci fi - behind the genre, it's still about characters loving and fighting #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:14 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @RolandMooreTV How important to you think names are in period pieces? #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:14 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @Taroj I believe people are basically the same - same motives, same desires, same human foibles. #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:14 pm           



 
@lupiilu: @RolandMooreTV I hear it's hard to get work read in UK, do you think you have to be established to be read in this country? #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:15 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @taroj Dialogue is a key thing for period. But often you are juggling between reality (of the time) and peoples' perception now #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:15 pm           



 
@SpockWriter: @TaroJ @RolandMooreTV I would say that's the most difficult part of a period drama; to be true to the period and up-to-date. #scriptchat

@RolandMooreTV: @taroj For example, having a word like 'snog' in WWII drama would seem out of place (perception), but it was used (actuality) #scriptchat

@RolandMooreTV: @alli_and_that The best moments in Land Girls are the moments of high emotion and they're all about things that are relevant now #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:19 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @alli_and_that ...such as being away from a loved one, wondering if they are safe. Obviously ramped up 10x because of war. #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:20 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @taroj Yes. And 'Fantastic' is another word we could have used, but people would have thought sounded wrong. #scriptchat

@RolandMooreTV: @alli_and_that Higher stakes mean people behave rashly and do things they wouldn't do otherwise. That's why Bea got pregnant. #scriptchat

@rosieclaverton: RT @RolandMooreTV: We had to make a decision about 'how to make our French resistance characters talk'. Allo allo has ruined using an accent! #scriptchat

@TaroJ: How do you feel about modernised period films like The Guy Richie's, Sherlock Holmes films, they are set in a "period" #scriptchat

@RolandMooreTV: So we went for them talking French. I think it worked - it shared the confusion the airman was feeling in not understanding #scriptchat

@rosieclaverton: @RolandMooreTV What are your plans for after the war? #scriptchat

@alli_and_that: @lupiilu No probs, my pleasure! @antonsays #scriptchat

@RolandMooreTV: @alli_and_that Yes, Sometimes research does the opposite and hands you a story. Eg: the segregation of black troops #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:37 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @alli_and_that We got loads of comments about the segregation storyline. A lot of viewers didn’t realise that it happened #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:37 pm           



 
@lupiilu: @RolandMooreTV I have to admit, to this day I still can't hear a french accent without thinking "Oh Renee" #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:38 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @taroj I quite like the modern/period mix, but it's a hard thing to pull off. Audience expecting one thing, given another. #scriptchat

@alli_and_that: @RolandMooreTV Entertaining AND educational! #landgirls #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:39 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @taroj I like a lot of steampunk - and some of that fuses modern (well, sort of if you count clockwork) with period. #scriptchat

@alli_and_that: @RolandMooreTV Do you think that writing a period piece is a good way for an emerging writer to start? #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:40 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @lipiilu Exactly. I planned a much more complex story for John in France, but it couldn't work without invoking Renee. #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:40 pm           



 
@TaroJ: @RolandMooreTV that's true something like steampunk is as much about period as it is about sci-fi #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:41 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @lupiilu And the alternative is subtitles - which we considered. It's one of many examples of the collaboration in making it. #scriptchat

@lupiilu: @RolandMooreTV lol, lupiilu, though many would think lipiilu agrees with me! #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:42 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @alli_and_that Sometimes an audience comment would say about education, which was nice to know. #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @rolandmooreTV Did you consider the Armstrong and Miller approach? hehe http://t.co/ASUBWLoQ #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:42 pm           



 
@rosieclaverton: @rolandmooretv @TaroJ Steampunk is great; you can stretch the truth for a more "realistic" period or just go wild with cogs #scriptchat

@antonsays: @RolandMooreTV @lupiilu interesting. What was the key factor for not having subtitles? #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:43 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @alli_and_that I think emerging writers shouldn't rule out period. Yes, it's more expensive to make, but... #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:43 pm           



 
@lupiilu: @RolandMooreTV I prefer subtitles, it's brings a degree of authenticity to a programme that you can't get otherwise IMO #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:43 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: @alli_and_that ... producers and production teams love getting involved and making something impossible possible... #scriptchat

@lupiilu: @rosieclaverton That would be awesome! #scriptchat

@RolandMooreTV: @alli_and_that ...If it's modern or period, it doesn't matter. What matters is the writer's passion for whatever it is. #scriptchat

@lidiamfraga: RT @RolandMooreTV: In general, for TV, find an exec producer who loves your idea. They'll change things (everyone will) but they'll champion it. #scriptchat
February 26, 2012, 8:59 pm           



 
@RolandMooreTV: ...because the audience would feel same uncertainty as the chrs about when the war would end. #scriptchat

@TaroJ: @RolandMooreTV I'm pretty sure there's a sitcom about a TV stations complaints dept waiting to happen #scriptchat
