By Jake Kanter International TV Editor The BBC and ITV have agreed to fund a Dancing Ledge mentoring scheme for new writers and directors.

With the funding, 16 “A-list” writers will select and guide a group of people looking to break into the television industry.

The writers will receive a bursary to write a pilot episode for a series, while directors will be funded to work as a second unit director on a TV production.

Past mentors have included Jed Mercurio, Jimmy McGovern, Jack Thorne and Lucy Prebble on the first iteration of the scheme in 2018.
