**Manchester Pride** has announced the next of its *Transcript* events in the run up to the big weekend which runs from Friday 28 – Monday, August 31.

*Transcript* is part of Manchester Pride’s cultural programme called *Superbia*, a word deriving from the Latin word meaning Pride.

Soap fans can join writers and actors from the popular TV series *Coronation Street a*nd *Cucumber* writers and actors discuss the concept and development of transgendered characters in television and how the story moves from script to screen.
