A TV Series - In progress

I am writing a TV series in my retirement


It is political as we run up to a General Election with new Political Parties.


Here is a new TV series


 Format: 6 Episodes

Genre: Political Thriller / Intellectual Drama Setting: Present Day, Westminster & The UK

1. Introduction

When a rogue policy architect convinces the Leader of the Opposition that the British Treasury is an organism designed to manage decline, they launch a "Zero-Cost" revolution to seize power. But implementing their radical "Guiding Rules" means declaring war on the most powerful force in Britain: The Civil Service "Continuum."

2. THE PREMISE: "THE CONTINUUM" VS. "THE BIG IDEA"

For 80 years, British politics has been a theatre of illusion. Labour spends, Tories cut, but the Continuum— a Treasury-sanctioned loop of Big Government—remains the same. The State grows, services decline, and the taxpayer foots the bill.

The Zero-Sum Game breaks this loop.

The Hero: Julian Vane, a polymath strategist who brings a "Big Idea" to Sarah Jenkins, the Opposition Leader. The Big Idea: A "Revolutionary Process" where policies are designed to bypass the Treasury entirely. The Guiding Rule: Every new policy must provide a superior service at zero or negative cost to the taxpayer.

3. THE POLICIES (THE DRAMATIC ENGINE)

The drama isn't about passing laws; it's about the "Backroom Machinations" required to force these ideas past a hostile Civil Service. Here are feature specific, tangible policies that viewers will wish were real.
