Narrative

This is the email composers and artists dream about. It can also go badly wrong.

Picture the message every artist hopes for: a cutting a BBC Three drama series (eight episodes, prime-time slot) has caught a client's track in a playlist. They want to know if it's available and what the terms look like.

It goes wrong when the artist (or their adviser) doesn't know what the supervisor actually needs, and why they'll move on in four hours if nobody responds.
