Well, as soon as we chose our coursework option we decided to immediately dive in and get researching. the websites we looked at were BBCiplayer.co.uk and BBC's writersroom, which allows you to read different scripts, submitted by various people. This helped us in our planning of the script, and also the format of how a radio play would be presented. The most notable radio drama we listened too was 'The Archers', a radio soap opera, set in the fictional village of Ambridge. The Archers is also the worlds longest running soap opera in any format. We also realized that during the show, the characters tend to say each others names quite often, informing the audience who they are talking too.
Based on the research attained, we eventually decided to base our radio play on a crime serial, with the main character being a grumpy and never satisfied DCI. The plot centres around a married couple arguing, resulting in the wife leaving to stay at her mother's. Whilst collecting some stuff she needs from the shops, her husband is brutally murdered,though the murderer isn't revealed, although suspicion falls upon the wife, the identity of the true culprit may or may not be revealed!
