The full text of the agreement is available to PACT members only on the PACT website (http://www.pact.co.uk). You may also find the Writers’ Guild website (http://www.writers.org.uk/guild) useful.
It allows for different levels of fee for new writers and established writers. In practice, though, you will find that you are negotiating with agents for most writers with any sort of television track-record. Agents are familiar with the structure of the PACT-WGGB Agreement, and usually willing to conduct negotiations according to the template that it sets out.
Remember
that, if your programme is shown in cinemas, you have legal obligations to the
writer and others in respect of Rental and Lending Right. These are explained
in the page of the Managing the Idea section that deals
with the engagement of directors.
