How do you write down the essence of a TV series? Are you handing down commandments, set in stone? Or is it more like using a DNA ‘code’ to grow a Screen Idea?

Macdonald worked for the BBC, Independent Broadcasting Authority, London Weekend Television, and the British Film Institute before joining Leeds Metropolitan University as Head of the Northern Film School in 1992. He moved to Leeds University in 2006.
