Pete Doherty 'To Write Skins-Style Drama For BBC'

It's claimed...

Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has been commissioned to write a drama series for the BBC, it's been reported.

The singer is understood to have attended a meeting with BBC creative bosses in London on Tuesday (March 24th).

A source told The Sun newspaper that the series was a “Skins-style show on the dark side of the music industry”.

“They want a pilot episode written in the next six weeks which will become a series, if he can come up with the goods,” the unnamed source said.

“Beeb bosses think Pete has a creative streak that will produce some gritty TV. He’s seen it all as a hellraising rock star, so they want his experiences written in.”

Doherty is currently on a UK tour in support of his debut solo album 'Grace/Wastelands'.

  • "A source" - he's tried to punt some of his sixth form crap to the Beeb who have had the good sense to ignore it.

    • @Gigwise not even close, saw Radiohead in Malahide last year and they were good but for me anyway not the same buzz as a Springsteen show
