The writers selected to go through to the second round of BCG Pro's Yellow Door Script Call have been revealed.

Launched in May, the contest asked entrants to complete a story in three scenes, up to a maximum of ten pages.

Ten finalists will now be asked to submit a full 30-minute television comedy script, from which a final line-up of three will be invited to have their scripts optioned by Yellow Door Productions - the production company run by Lucy Lumsden - with a view to being pitched to channels for commission.

Judges Lucy Lumsden and Chris Head say: "We were really impressed by the high standard of scripts. We were particularly looking for new exciting voices with a great grasp for comedy and something to say and we feel we found that in our selection."

Ordered by surname, the ten finalists are as follows:

Caimin Collins
Antonia Cooper
Alice Etches and Nathalie Antonia
Sophie Fletcher
Anna Goodman
Ralph Jones
Kadijha Kamara
Graeme Knowles
Laine Slater and Sean Hayward
Runi Talwar

The finalists have until the end of September to complete their second-round scripts.
