The Screenburn structure standard

Every script here is built to the Screenburn structure standard: eight rules for how a vertical series opens, turns and ends, applied to every episode and to the season as a whole. We publish the results, not the rules. The score and the strip show them.

EXT. CASTLE TORRAN - FRONT STEPS - DAY

A grey stone castle above a loch, its front door open at the top of a flight of steps. A marquee lorry idles by the wall. Across the water another castle sits small on the far shore. MOLLY QUINN, 29, dark hair pinned up, a cream lace dress to the knee, gets out of a hatchback at the foot of the steps. On the passenger seat her phone lights up: Fri 25 Sep, 15:58. Under the time, a message from RHONA TULLOCH, 24, freckled and grinning in a tiny contact photo, a camera strap across her chest: Fraser bride asking for you!!! Molly pockets the phone. A black camera bag lies on the back seat. She locks the car and climbs.

At the top she stops. Inside the hall an easel holds a printed board: Ross and Grant, Sunday 27 September. Photographs are pinned round its edge. One shows FIONA LENNOX, 31, red hair to her shoulders, thin faced and weathered, squinting on a ship's deck, labelled by hand: Fiona. Beyond the easel a broad staircase rises. CALLUM ROSS, 30, tall, in shirtsleeves and a kilt, stands with his back to the door, a glass in his hand, laughing.

Molly's hand finds the rail. She turns for the steps.

SHEENA GRANT, 55, soft and round, reading glasses on a chain, comes through the door at speed and throws both arms round her.

SHEENA

Fiona. Oh, Fiona. You've gone dark. Ailsa said you had.

Molly's arms stay at her sides.

MOLLY

I...

SHEENA

Eight years. Let me look.

(holding her off)

Cream. To a wedding. Only you.

Over Sheena's shoulder, on the staircase, AILSA GRANT, 27, pale, small mouthed, in a wool jumper and jeans, stands with one hand on the banister. She looks at Molly. Molly looks back. Ailsa says nothing. She turns and goes up the stairs.

SHEENA

Ailsa! It's Fiona!

The footsteps above do not stop.

SHEENA

Nerves. Come in.

MOLLY

I think you've...

SHEENA

I've what? Cried? I've cried since Thursday.

Callum's voice comes from the hall.

CALLUM

Sheena? Is that Fiona?

Sheena waits. Molly's eyes go to the open door, to the kilt, to the glass.

MOLLY

Yes.

End of episode one.
