Carols from Kings – behind the scenes

The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings College, Cambridge, was first held on Christmas Eve 1918. Its fame grew after the service was heard on radio in 1928 and, with the exception of 1930, it has been broadcast at home and abroad ever since. In 1954 Christmas Carols from Kings was televised on Christmas Day as part of a live exchange of programmes with other countries with Midnight Mass coming from Paris on Christmas Eve and Winter Games from Switzerland on Boxing Day.

“What matters first is the story and then finding the right people - whether it’s the writers, producers, directors, cinematographers. 

Breeders Session

Sky Original comedy Breeders is produced by Avalon and FX Productions for FX Networks and Sky One.
