It’s the commission that everyone wants.  A series that keeps coming back, because viewers just can’t get enough! 

These gems are incredibly important for the creative industry and production landscape, not least because they provide a perfect training ground for new starts into the industry. From Homes Under the Hammer to Antiques Road Trip and Love It or List It, and so many more, Scotland punches above its weight in this area, particularly in the Factual Entertainment area.

Join this special event from RTS Scotland to hear our panel discuss their perennial favourites of factual-entertainment returning series, unpack what makes them work and why they continue to be ratings winners not just at home but around the world.   

The panel will be chaired by broadcaster and Homes Under the Hammer presenter, Martel Maxwell.  On the panel are:

Jo Street, Head of Daytime and Features at Channel 4

Craig Hunter, Creative Director of Factual at STV Studios

Andrew Jackson, Creative Director at Raise the Roof Productions

Caroline McCaw, Researcher

Mat Marsters, Series Producer at Lion TV
