BBC Writersroom interviews: John Yorke
John Yorke has run both BBC and Channel 4 drama as well as working in the Independent sector on dramas including Wolf Hall. He recently returned to the helm at EastEnders. In this interview, from our Scottish Festival in 2017, he explains why he started working with new writers and some common errors that he sees them make. He also describes how he learnt the basics of story structure - the elements which are common to all stories - and how Shakespeare's works can be used to demonstrate their validity.
