DOHERTY TO PEN DRAMA SERIES?

Rocker PETE DOHERTY is eyeing a new career - he is reportedly in talks to write a TV show.

The Babyshambles singer has led a troubled life - he has had a well-publicised battle with substance abuse, fighting addictions to heroin and crack cocaine since 2003.

And bosses at British TV network BBC are hoping he can use his experiences as inspiration to write a new drama series, according to U.K. newspaper The Sun.

A source tells the publication, "They want a pilot episode written in the next six weeks which will become a series, if he can come up with the goods. BBC 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."
