WRITING FOR TELEVISION: Character Creation

Character 1:


Bill, who is 102 years old, is the worlds oldest, and longest serving, bus driver. He has worked as a bus driver for 75 years of his life and continues to work every day. Bill is always happy to see his customers and offers them a smile whenever they get onboard. However, despite Bills seemingly positive nature, he is actually quite a lonely man. Bill was married for 65 years of his life, before his wife passed away, and part of the reason why he continues to work is because he enjoys the company and seeing people every day. At this point of Bills life, he is planning to retire at the end of the week, however, when the government offer him a large sum of money to gain some inside information on one of his most loyal customers, he has a big decision to make.


Character 2:


Jill, who is 52 years old, has a rare, one-of-a-kind condition, which means that she snores whilst awake. Jill developed this condition at birth and has lived with it ever since. It can sometimes prove a nuisance when working, as Jill works as a Librarian. She loves reading and is a classic bookworm, however, she often feels embarrassed when working in a quiet environment as she feels her loud snoring distracts everybody around her. When at work one day, her constant snoring nose is as a loud as ever, however, all of a sudden, there is silence. Jills snoring has suddenly stopped, and everybody around her is shocked, including Jill, who has lived with this for all her life.
