After an illustrious career at the BBC and RDF Media, Stephen set up Studio Lambert ten years ago, creating a wide range of programming, from internationally formatted shows such as Gogglebox, Four in a Bed and Undercover Boss, to moving and award-winning dramas like Three Girls.

Stephen will talk through his career highs and lows, the challenges of setting up, and selling on, a major indie, and the creative force behind his string of award-winning formats, whilst sharing some of his favourite programme excerpts.

Arrive at 6:30 for a free glass of wine and nibbles, then the event begins at 7:00pm. There will be post-event networking with a pay bar.
