How much does the BBC pay for a radio script?

[ZolaBuddleia]

For both sketches and radio drama. Anyone know?

Several thousand but that's for an established writer. Writing an episode of an hour long drama is not something you're going to dash off in an afternoon

The BBC pay about £4000 for a 45 minute Afternoon Play (for an established writer and about £3500 for a beginner writer). If you go to the Writers Guild website it will give you more extensive details.

Sketches - pretty poor really - it's just a few quid. I remember writing some sketches for something about five years ago and getting £25 per sketch while Channel 4 paid £100 per sketch.

You might find this useful. It's for 2011, but it's still a guide.

Thanks very much, that's very useful.
