Not that I'm aware of Eveline, and scripts tend to be pretty universal, so maybe Black List is where you need to be?

There was something called Script Boutique, but that doesn't appear to be up and running at the moment? Ink Tip is another American one. I think there is certainly a need for a UK based hosting site, so will watch this post with interest.

The Black List seems to have become the industry standard so a rival U.K. based organisation might find it hard to compete or have readers of the same experience and standard. It is known that big production companies refer to TBL scan for new scripts.
Producers hire readers in the USA as a matter of course. I'm not sure it's such a popular practise here, therefore experienced well informed script readers will be less available and your feedback will be reflected in that. Are you looking to start your own list? That's a great idea. There's only a handful of good script doctors here I know of. Kate Leys being one and she's not going to give feedback for $50.00 a script.

I've tried both Inktip and the Black List but as my www.MargeryBooth.com is a very British/European film with absolutely no American involvement in plot/location/character etc I found myself wasting both time and money as they cannot understand anything about that genre although WWII is top of the list here due to so many anniversaries at the moment.

Thanks Paul (above). Just clicked on the link you kindly provide. "Voted for" - by whom?

Which begs the question:

How does one get put forward for the Brit List?

Paul - my point entirely - so we both await this great knowledge!

No.

Thank Gawd.

Just from this year's and previous years articles:

"the list is compiled by a combination of UK producers, agents, distributors and sales companies."

"More than 80 producers, agents, distributors and sales agents from the UK submitted more than 160 of their favourite scripts this year."

If you look at the writers, all but one is repped, so essentially you need to either have an agent, or have a script that is good enough to attract the attention of a certain level of agents, producers distributors etc.

Thanks Paul - "submitted" - but to whom?? Anyway my www.MargeryBooth.com is going to be featured in today's ScreenDaily so that may produce results :-)
