Doherty to write TV drama

By | Published on Monday 30 March 2009

According to reports, Pete Doherty is to write a TV drama series for the BBC.

It sounds a bit improbable, I know, but here’s what a ‘source’ says on the matter: “Pete was meeting creative chiefs. They’ve commissioned him to write a ‘Skins’-style show on the dark side of the music industry. They want a pilot episode written in the next six weeks which will become a series, if he can come up with the goods. Beeb bosses think Pete has a creative streak that will produce some gritty TV. He’s seen it all as a hellraising rock star, so they want his experiences written in”.

Whether he would be able to buckle down and get it done in time would be the question, I think. But good luck to him.
