Wenger and the Channel 4 drama commissioning team want British writers to bring them “bold, authored, entertaining drama ideas aimed at 16-34s”.

E4 will air the pilot episodes in 2013 as part of its first ever drama pilot season.

Wenger commented: “This is an exciting first step in the development of a slate of new drama series for E4. There is a wealth of British drama talent out there and I am thrilled to be able to green-light a drama pilot season and invite new and established writers to come to us with their big ideas.”

The former Doctor Who exec added: “In the last few years, E4 has established an unrivalled reputation for launching young, ground-breaking drama series and we are looking for a range of original drama ideas which will allow audiences to connect with the channel now. We don’t want to be prescriptive on genre, format or length of episode – the aim is to see a variety of home-grown and innovative drama on E4 in 2013 and beyond.”
