Bottled Up
Pitched to you by Rachael Maxwell and Amy Stringman


v  Bottled up is a 6part drama based in a state secondary school in the North of England.
v  The main character Sinead Hickman will appear in all 6 episodes.
v  It starts with the audience seeing a sudden change in the behaviour of 15-year-old Sinead; as the series continues they become deeper and deeper involved with the character as they discover that there is something more serious behind her change in behaviour. Her stepfather is sexually abusing her.
v  Each episode will continue the story but we will look at this tragic event through the eyes of different characters – from Sinead herself, all the way to a charity organization.


In connection to the storyline, we have spoken to:
·         SallyAnnMiddlehurst who is the Safe Guarding Officer at Salford City College. She was able to help us in clarifying the correct course of action after a case of abuse has been reported.
  • A focus group with a group of students aged between 16 and 18 to see what they thought of our idea.


We have come up with an estimate of £250,000 based on a 2 week long shoot with 3 weeks editing time.
Including employment of:

  • 4 main cast members
  • 20 extras
  • Director
  • Producer
  • 2 runners
  • 2 camera operators
  • 1 sound operator
