The Shawshank Redemption is a redemption plot. This is a genre of film that looks back over life events in flashback with a voice-over and, of course, ends with a redemption. This is similar to story structures often used in L&D –when something goes wrong,and a characterreflects on it in flashback. I bring out the tropes so we can credibly work in this genre.

Episode 1, Line of Duty
Much of the BBC’s flagship cop show Line of Duty takes place around a table in meetings. This is often the setting for L&D dramas, so how can sprinkle some of their stardust over our productions?
