The Jury: Murder Trial restaged a real-life murder trial in front of two juries of ordinary people to see what the outcome would be. How did this landmark experiment make it into viewers’ homes?
The team behind it share the journey from original idea to commission to C4 transmission.
How does the Producer decide on an idea good enough to pitch? How does the Commissioner help shape the programme so it is acceptable for broadcast? Once made and commissioned, what role does the Scheduler play in getting an audience to it?
Ed Kellie, Creator, Ian Dunkley Commissioning Editor, and Sean Collins, Head of Scheduling, share what it takes for a groundbreaking idea to make it to the small screen.
Grace Goddard (Story Producer of Murder Trial) will be hosting this session.
This is a free RTS virtual event taking place on Zoom.
