Join the writer, producers and director of BBC drama Guilt as they outline the production challenges of remounting an award-winning show during a pandemic. From covid cast changes to lockdown shooting we’ll hear how nimble adaptation was required throughout.

Plus writer Neil Forsyth explains the story challenges around picking up a new series one year later when viewers have just seen your lead character whisked off to jail! Join us for the inside story of one of Scotland’s most-loved dramas of recent years. 

It has been called ‘The Irish Sopranos‘ And it’s a huge hit both here at home and in the US, where it is being shown on cable TV. It is RTÉ‘s latest gangland crime series – ‘Kin‘ depicting feuding families caught in a web of violence, vengeance and betrayal. Family life, but not as we know it. The Director of Kin, Diarmuid Goggins, will be the guest on RTS ROI‘s next Webinar, on Friday 22nd October 7.00PM.
