Despite a packed Christmas TV schedule, the future is clear. “UK TV is facing the ‘biggest challenge in its history’ in 2025” uk.news.yahoo.com/uk-tv-decline-…

A lot of my friends keep saying to me things like “but there is so much good TV” or “we’ve got more choice than ever” but the harsh reality as outlined in my recent chats with Philip Ralph & HannahBeaugeardTV is stark for the UK TV industry atm. Change is needed 🚨

Terrific to see the mighty @jackthorne speaking out against the devastating cuts to the sustainable heart of TV drama this past few years. We can change things for the better if we work together. Time for creatives to get creative and #Survive&Thrivein25

Was a pleasure getting to script edit this years BBC River City Christmas Day special with the very talented Morna Young ✍️

My conversation with Jamie Mackinlay for Just Get A Real Job 🎙 was one of my highlights from a *very* strange year where I repeatedly spoke about what’s really going on and the crisis in the TV industry. Now it’s time to start talking about finding solutions. Time to #ReviveandThrivein25

This episode has been one of the highlights of my year! So chuffed with the with the reach it’s had. Thank you again Phil and next year we’ll try focus on solutions. Together we are stronger 💪

Excited to see where year 5 of podcasting is going to lead 💭

It’s good to see the BBC continue to cover the ongoing crisis for @Bectu freelancers working in TV 📺 but workers don’t want platitudes and empty promises they need solutions from industry and Government 👇

It’s disingenuous at best to treat thousands of highly skilled TV makers like gig economy delivery drivers. The link between broadcasters and freelancers needs to be one of mutual support and respect. Freelancers aren’t responsible for the contraction in commissions. Support us.

Alive in ’25? After a year of raising awareness about the crisis in TV, over the Christmas break I came up with one possible solution. Here's an idea I've been mulling on how to help revive UK TV drama for existing and new creatives... I'd love your thoughts. 🧵

Another great thread from Philip Ralph 👇

This crisis is arguably already impacting what we see on our screens. Mid level TV has gone, the soaps are disappearing. If we can’t invest in sustaining our industry through storms like this, then the future is bleak, on screen and off.

Been very quiet on socials recently but a lot of work going on behind the scenes with the podcast currently. Exciting things coming soon 🎧
