Inspired by the true stories of Norwegian corporate whistleblowers, Heksejakt (Witch Hunt) looks at how those fighting for justice often become targets themselves.

Following an exclusive virtual screening of episode one, series co-creators Anna Bache-Wiig and Siv Rajendram Eliassen, along with lead actress Ingrid Bolsø Berdal join the Radio Times’ Frances Taylor for this live behind-the-scenes discussion ahead of Witch Hunt's release on All 4 and Channel 4.

This event will include a live audience Q&A.

Despite the received wisdom that to build a career in TV, you need to choose your path and stick to it, there are many people who are forging a a career down multiple avenues.

In this session we meet them. The ‘Slashies’. The multi-hyphenates. Those for whom one career path is just too narrow.

So what are the challenges of this type of career? What are the opportunities? Does it help you, or hinder you, when a talent manager sees that all-important slash in your job title?

In January 2020, we held a joint event with the Children’s Media Foundation: “Are the Kids Alright?” The session looked at how the mainstream media were providing engaging content for our youngest audiences. Then the pandemic changed everything. How did the media industry rise to the challenge? 

There’ll be an opportunity to enjoy some exclusive clips from the WW2 episode of the series, featuring Germany’s comedy ambassador to the UK, Henning Wehn, before Al will be joined on stage by German historian and author Katja Hoyer to record a LIVE episode of his critically-acclaimed podcast: We Have Ways Of Making You Talk

The evening will be wrapped up by a Q&A with Al and Katja, together with VP Programming at A+E Networks UK, Dan Korn, and Series Exec Producer from Avalon TV, Jay Taylor.

From Netflix trailblazers Making A Murderer, Don’t F**k with Cats and Night Stalker, and ITV’s true crime dramas such as The Pembrokeshire Murders and latterly Stephen, to Des, Manhunt and the upcoming Social Media Murders, audiences are more transfixed than ever by the twists and turns of complex murder investigations and the quirks of fate and happenstance by which normal, everyday lives can be transformed, in the blink of an eye, to tragedy.   

As the broadcaster continues to expand its presence and role outside of London, with a focus on Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow and Birmingham; there are concerns that progress in on and off-screen representation and the wider economic benefits of this policy will be lost if privatisation goes ahead. Meanwhile others argue that ' levelling up' should not be the responsibility of a broadcaster, but of government, regardless of the ownership model.
