How 'British' is British TV?
Broadcasters shift more shows out of London, as Amazon and Netflix move in.
The UK has become a production hub, with giant companies like Amazon and Netflix filming on our shores - and driving up the cost of shoots. But how easy is it to build up a thriving TV industry in a new part of the country? And faced with an influx of US programmes, should the government lay down legal requirements for βBritishness' on TV?
Guests: Sarah Doole, Chief Executive of Red Production Company; Tony Wood, Chief Executive of Buccaneer Media; Sir Phil Redmond, creator of Grange Hill, Hollyoaks and Brookside; Chris Curtis, Editor of Broadcast.
Studio engineer: Donald MacDonald
Producer: Hannah Sander
