Doherty 'penning drama series for BBC'

Pete Doherty has reportedly been commissioned to pen a "Skins-style" series for the BBC.

According to The Sun, corporation bosses have met with the Babyshambles star in relation to a proposed drama about the "dark side of the music industry".

"They want a pilot episode written in the next six weeks which will become a series, if he can come up with the goods," revealed an unnamed insider.

"Beeb bosses think Pete has a creative streak that will produce some gritty TV. He’s seen it all as a hellraising rock star, so they want his experiences written in."
