One of the frequent elements that made a good radio drama, according to respondents to my survey, is how "realistic" it was.I have been thinking about my ideas and how realistic they are. A Prime Minister acting the buffoon and a paranoid Foreign Secretary are not really that realistic - does this matter?
I think what my respondents meant by "realistic" is whether they could picture it in their mind's eye and whether they could 'feel the play' emotionally. My plot ideas are both unrealistic in the sense that they are unlikely to happen but I think the majority of people could imagine them happening in their imagination, particularly the Prime Minister acting a buffoon to win over support!
