Just saw what you said about Jonathan Harvey writing to you - I'm a huge fan. I must've watched Gimme Gimme hundreds of times (I just love that one where Linda's tottering past some scaffolding on the pavement in her heels and all the builders start whistling at the dolly bird behind her and Linda's acting like their doing it for her! That guy is brilliant! I don't watch every Corrie episode, but if I catch the intro and it's one of JH's, well I'll be glued.
Looks like I wrote to him C/O The Royal National Theatre - in 1999! I've another postcard from him, saying he hasn't enough time to look at something else I must have sent.
You could try to find out if he's appearing somewhere and send something there. Then there's the tried - and failed - route of national television companies, publishers, agents/managers, etc. If you do receive a reply, it's probably not worth sending anything else unless it's obviously welcome - you'd probably be taking advantage. Not really worth chasing something you haven't had a reply to, either. The chances are they can't/won't reply rather than it's all the Royal Mail's fault. (Some people won't read other people's work as they're afraid of claims of plagiarism.)
