What you do then is create a show bible for your show.

The show bible must include:

·      At least one-paragraph blurb on what the show is about (like you’d get in a TV Guide)

·      What character each actor is playing (you don’t need character names, although it’s always good to have, but you do need to provide a character description.)

If you choose to cast a few more “roles” in your show, that is great too.

·      For extra credit, give a sketch of a plot arc OR a couple of two-sentence teasers for some important first-season episodes. – In the past we’ve had ‘shows’ that have provided a few episodes for season one, a full mini-series sketched out and even a full five-year arc so don’t feel constrained to a few episodes only.

As the challenge is running over the ‘holiday season’ then extra ‘extra’ credit will be given if you can add in a 'Christmas/New Year/Festive Season' episode.
