I'll put in my CV now.

I have bags of experience - such as posting storylines on DS

If a storyline next year involves Tamwar, Kim and Fatboy abducted by aliens then you know I got the job

broadshoulder · 24/10/13 - 18:18

I have submitted a storyline where..

Shirleys body is found behind bin bags, her nose half eaten a rats

Then Kim Fox discovers quantum physics and starts a space programme at the B&B

I think the BBC will snap me up

Mattehhhftw · 24/10/13 - 18:22

I'd like that job

priscilla · 24/10/13 - 18:24

My sl, Alfie shot in the head.

Fatboy/Tamwar/Danny/Cindy/Jake/Sadie off screen exits.

Sharon and Denny go back to America

Bianca becomes victim of a hit and run, where dhe's left for dead. Kids go and live with Rickayy.

Have I got the job or is it 'sling your hook'

I have plans for a week worth of episodes in which an illness grips the square meaning all residents loose their voices, while the NHS work towards finding a cure, everyone in Albert Square has to express their emotions through dance. It's going to make the gangster fight scenes I also have in place: featuring Carl, Max, Phil to name a few, to the sounds of Wagner Ride of the Valkyries or Mozart Requiem Mass - cause we're the BBC let's have some culture please. I think this will give those scenes an extra special twist. The best actress in soap Lauren Branning naturally will discover the cure that if residents smile and laugh it's breaks the spell/illness that has major plotholes but just enjoy it. She's then spends the rest of the time going around spreading joy and laughter to others before that other resident does the same, a homage to pay it forward. However one resident laugh will have dire consequences, changing life forever, as it will be their last. But which one? The week long episode will end will all the square in the Vic laughing with a special theme of shiny, happy people by REM.

too much planning actually....another affair with Kat?

Kitten Enders - the fluffy soap

"Sharon cat" - large, black and white cat with a nasty nip, overprotective of her kitten and likely to scratch the nose of any one who tries to come between them.

"Billy cat" - scrawny grey cat, likes to rip open the post and hide it under the mat.

"Bianca cat" skinny ginger cat who has a litter every year and likes to meow loudly for no reason.

"David cat" sleek silver cat who fathered Bianca Cat then left, comes back every few years to check on brood.

"Sam cat" large lumbering black cat, see "David cat".

"Kat cat"

black and white stray, permanently on heat.

"Phil cat" - large scruffy stocky cat with a red and grey fur, struts about the square looking for trouble and growling at any one who crosses him, liked to fight with Shirley cat til she moved on.

"Shirley cat" tabby with a mean streak, likes to fight with "Phil cat", last seen in the arches but may now be in the Pound (or a skip).

Why is it saying Programme Scheduler, not Story Editor, when I click that link? Very different jobs...

HR to Lorraine "those bitches on DS are coming up with better storylines then you"

Lorraine gives a withering look

Shirley's cat would not feature in KittenEnders, she's already international known

Some EE fans would be sharpening their pitchforks if you did that.

And that's just for starters!

Bertypop · 25/10/13 - 13:04

That's not actually a story editor job, though? It's a Programme Scheduler - which is quite different.

The Job is grade 6D - the only info I could find for pay range is from period 2011-2012 which equated to:

£27,867 to £41,081 a year - The D suffix represents a daily rate.

I'd watch this, I love cats, also the cat characters are brilliant

Tamwar cat - a shorthaired cat, has a gloomy temperate and doesn't take an interest in anything. Those seem to perk up when watching Westerns.

Hey there!
