Thoughts on 2nd draft script

The 2nd draft of my script can be read here. Here are some thoughts on how it could be improved:
  • Look at how lines 14 and 16 can be improved to make them more natural
  • Correct where Nurse Collins says 'It's a standard procedure' to 'It's standard procedure'
  • Perhaps cut Celia (instead could only referred to by Nurse Collins) and the viewer?
  • Stronger beginning
  • More unexpected moments
  • Show Morris Lloyd-Jones being egged in the news report
  • Change or remove where Hugh Roberts says 'I wonder if the egg was hard boiled or not'
  • Line 14: '...is 20 points ahead', 'What are we going to do?', 'I have a plan', 'What is it?
  • Delete: 'I’d suggest the Australian jungle but that’s already been done'
  • Where Nurse Collins says 'The PM wins!', change to 'The Prime Minister wins!'
  • Line 43: Change to 'What are you looking at?'.
  • Re-write lines 44, 45 and 46
  • Add Daniel Young stuttering into the dialogue
  • Add direction to line 53
  • Daniel Young should have a briefcase rather than a backpack
  • Line 57: Move 'I'm the grime minister' to when crowd is applauding
  • Re-write beginning of scene 6
  • Line 64: 'Back to you in the studio' - too cheesy?
  • Line 65: Work 'Prime Morrister' into the script better
  • Line 67: Change to 'That's it. I’m calling an election. Someone Get Her Majesty on the phone.'
