The pitch is fun, and this is certainly me getting too caught up in specific details, but I'm struggling with Bilinda's parents being 44 & 41 if she disappeared 17 years ago at the age of 16. Either they were implausibly young when she was born or there is some mysterious time slipping involved...
I cannot begin to imagine the crushing disappointment of being so close, yet so far from having your TV show dreams come to fruition. But hopefully one day soon the stars will align. I love the story pitch (wouldn't it be great to have a UK "x-files" - especially with that show's reboot on the horizon - with all our history, myths and legends to draw upon), and it put me in mind a little of The Nightmare Man and Quatermass. Have you considered working on it with another writer before taking it to a producer? Given the undertones in the story, I was reminded of the work of Steven Volk (Ghostwatch, Midwinter of the Spirit etc). I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Ok. Here is the thing, you got something and that is for sure, and it could be something greater than it already is, in the right hands. At risk of sounding "woo-woo" (as my sister calls it), work on your manifestation skills. You are an amazing storyteller and project imagery that is both intriguing and haunting in equal measures. If your writing and storytelling does all that from a podcast, I am beyond exicted at the thought of a TV show. But, just like book to movie adaptations, at what cost is the success? I think of Stephen King and how his adaptations don't always translate well (I'm looking at you, Langoliers). I can't imagine having to allow creative liberties from others on my own work. Torturous comes to mind...but I digress. I don't really have anything helpful to add, but I wanted to say something because I don't think you should measure your success on a TV show that might have been great. Because, maybe it wouldn't have translated well. But I do know the pain of hope dashed. I will do my best to help you manifest success and notoriety in the realm of television. You deserve it! Don't forget us little people when you at the top. 😉
This story pitch… it’s my favourite TV show even if it was never made. This would have been so incredible. Of course, somewhere out there is a version of reality where it was made and I’m watching it for the millionth time…

Ha, no, you're not wrong to question it, that's a very bad typo! They're supposed to be in their 50s! Thanks for flagging, I'll sort that out...
