A '''script editor''' is a member of the production team of scripted [[television]] programmes, usually dramas and comedies. The script editor has many responsibilities including finding new script writers, developing storyline and series ideas with writers, ensuring that scripts are suitable for production and personally seeing that decent work gets trodden over by the likes of [[Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps]], which is now written using random [[storyline]] generators rather than real people. The script editor will work closely with the writer at each draft of their script, giving the writer feedback on the quality of their work, suggesting improvements that can be made whilst also ensuring that practical issues like show continuity and correct running time are adhered to. Unlike the writers, script editors will usually be full-time members of the production team, working closely with the [[television producer|producer]].
