Today we publish the preliminary report for the @vivalapd @bectu @bournemouthuni State of Play Survey 2021. It's grim reading for TV freelancers. 93% have been victims of or witnessed bullying/harassment. Let's start the change now... 👍 vivalapd.tv/post/state-of-pl…

@vivalapd It's two years since George Floyd was killed and improvements to #diversity in UK tv were promised in earnest. Two years on who's delivered? First up, Charlotte Moore demanded #diversity at the very top of the beeb but it looks like she kept it all white on the night...
This is a really important thread from @HarrowerAndy, Chief Exec of @Directors_UK. We can’t allow the role of director to be eroded away and/or unrecognised.

Congratulations to all the fantastic directors at the helm of last night’s BAFTA-winning programmes. So much work goes on behind the scenes, but at the moment this is work for which directors are not consistently recognised. (1/4)

Indeed, #wherearethewomen ? We’re here and ready to Direct, we just need the same opportunities as men. We’re 50% of the population, we should be able to tell 50% of the stories. So proud to have been a part of this survey and this fabulous group of women. #TVGenderGapReport

We're planning to issue new, fair rates guidance across Unscripted TV in October.

Proud to have been co-signatories of the historic Freelance Charter. It’s a big day for the industry, and we already know from the State of Play 2021 report that urgent change is needed if we’re to stop a brain drain of talent from the industry.
Today @DominicRaab highlighted importance of UK culture in #GlobalBritain strategy, and appeal of the arts.
But he didn’t admit how many TV/theatre workers and musicians/performers fall through government COVID support schemes
