Sex & the Church
I like that it explores the idea of human darkness, especially in those that are seen as holy or even, in some circles, above human. It's almost as if we forget that priests are real human people with real human pasts. It's all very interesting and the
is-he-the-rapist thing will make for great suspense.
Tempus
It has so much potential because of all the historic dates he could be launched back too. It's very easy to compare this to Life On Mars/Ashes To Ashes but what I like here is that there is so much story to work with in terms of the time period but also in explaining why he's "jumping".

Hamelin
Normally I get put off by 'modern twist on fairy tale' type shows, but this one sounds really well thought out and like it would stand out. I went back and forth on whether or not to vote for it, but ultimately did because I showed Sarah the list of pitches and it was her favourite.
The Drift
My favourite of all the pitches. The whole 'perpetual war caused by continents crashing into each other' thing sounds unique, and plus I have a weak spot for sci-fi/fantasy with complicated political stories (see: Game of Thrones, Battlestar Galactica).

Really interesting take. The idea of these 52 children seemed to provide a lot of scope for future episodes. Each episode could focus on one of the children and the mysterious circumstances under which they vanished.
Tempus
The idea came across as boring at first, so the logline could do with some work, but soon had me hooked when I got into the summary. Reminded me a lot of Quantum Leap, but I feel there's a niche in television at the moment for this sort of show. Plus, I'm a massive fan of time travelling stuff!

The Drift was also my favourite pitch. Bravo Mr Anonymous.
