Some of us have been shouting about the ‘firestorm’ in TV production for months. Our industry is haemorrhaging talent across the board. Commissioners aren’t taking risks, sticking with existing IP and big names. We have a new government. Can we please rethink and rebuild now?

We are delighted to announce the winners of our 2024 mentorships. We received a wealth of applications from across the UK and a wide variety of underrepresented groups, and are excited to work with these talented creators to develop their current projects. #AllStories2024

Massive congratulations Tammie 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉

London’s A-level results were at a record high, it’s such a small point but it’s incredible in London primaries and secondaries how many visits they get - authors, theatre companies, scientists etc compared to the North-East, it can get forgotten (also lack of funding)

did it hurt? when you realised 2025 is just 4 months away & you are still processing 2019 which is about to be more than half a decade ago
