The way we access content is fundamentally changing. Shorter-form content continues to grow apace and, at the same time, viewing is fragmenting across myriad devices and screens. Helping drive this change has been the emergence of a new generation of distribution platforms that blend professional video, user generated content and social media.

Countryfile launched on the BBC in 1988 to celebrate the ‘beauty and diversity of the British countryside’ and moved in 2009 to a high profile hour-length Sunday night BBC One slot. Since then it has gone from strength to strength, becoming Britain’s most popular weekly factual TV show regularly drawing in audiences of over six million and in February of this year, hit a peak of 9.4 million.
What's the secret of its success? How does it consistently deliver huge Sunday night ratings for BBC One?
Reality shows are the juggernauts of today’s TV schedules, think Love Island, The Only Way is Essex, First Dates, Geordie Shore, and I’m a Celebrity. These productions dominate conversation both on and off the screen, and they employ hundreds. So could reality be where you get your big break?
