More tickets available for BBC TV drama writing Q&A

Several weeks ago a Q&A session about writing for the BBC would be among the many, many, many events happening in Edinburgh during the many, many, many festivals that occur every August. Unfortunately, all the tickets were long gone by the time the BBC publicity machine started telling everyone on its wannabe writers mailing list about the event. Cue much sulking from me. Due to popular demand, the event's been shifted to a larger room and a fresh batch of tickets has been released - but they're going fast. Here's the PR blurb that sparked the ticket frenzy...
