The schedule includes BBC One's Attenborough And The Giant Sea Dragon, a one-off special exploring Britain's Jurassic Coast and the recent discovery of gigantic fossils embedded in a cliff face.
Natural history icon Sir David Attenborough will use the latest scanning techniques and 3D imaging to bring back to life the ichthyosaur, and reveal more about the ocean predator's way of life.
HyperNormalisation will explore the time of uncertainty we currently live in, where even those in power don’t know what to do.
The documentary is inspired by the unpredictable events of recent times – from the rise of Donald Trump to Brexit, the war in Syria, the endless migrant crisis, and random bomb attacks.
It seeks to explain both why these chaotic events are happening, and why we and our leaders can’t understand them.
Sex Transition Clinic (working title) will be part-filmed by 24 hours in A&E-style fixed-rig cameras.
The series will observe trans people at every stage of the process – from early consultations, to starting hormonal treatment, to navigating the final steps of their transition. The dedicated clinic staff who guide patients through the procedure will also be featured.
"Gender dysphoria is a very important story of our time,” said ITV Controller of Factual, Jo Clinton Davis.
Reggie Yates: Worst Weeks comes fresh off the back of Reggie’s Best Presenter win at the RTS Programme Awards 2016.
He was, in fact, unable to attend the ceremony because he was filming one episode of the Worst Weeks series.
The two-part series will place Reggie in intense situations for one brutal week, asking questions from the inside.
24 Hours Inside Your Body will follow three volunteers across one day, using the latest forensic filming techniques in what the broadcaster has called the first ‘full human body rig’.
Using video footage and data taken from a supersized ‘fitbit’ worn throughout the day, scientists will track the volunteers’ movements to see how things such as their sleeping position, their diet and their jobs affect their health.
The second Festival at Hampstead Theatre takes place in and around the theatre itself from 18th-20th March and features a range of panel and workshop sessions looking at the creative process across literature, theatre and performance arts for all the family.
This year's Festival is set to feature some of the most interesting figures in the UK today such as Sir David Hare, Howard Brenton, Mrs. Moneypenny, Deborah Moggach, Meera Syal, Paul O'Grady, Gary Kemp, Sir Matthew Bourne and Kate Mosse.
RTS London is pleased to support these Festival events:
Back for its final series, the university sitcom back with as many laugh-out-loud hilarious and toe-curlingly awkward moments as you could have dreamed.
Students were given the opportunity to listen industry experts about their craft.
From cameraman Steve Robinson describing how to portray personal moments on camera to editor of BBC One's The Missing explaining how a show comes together in the cutting room, the two-day masterclasses provided advice and insight into the television industry.
Morgan Matthews has taken his camera in to places that most directors shy away from; into lives torn apart by mental illness, bereavement and addiction.
There is, however, another side to the award-winning documentary film-maker; one that delights in the quirky worlds of pigeon fanciers, Elvis impersonators and teenage maths prodigies.
His films, said the chair of the documentary student masterclass, Ruth Pitt, revealed “the extraordinary in the ordinary and the ordinary in the extraordinary.”
When it comes to producing great television, a good editor is where it all begins and ends. That was the clear message for students attending the RTS craft skills editing masterclass.
Ben Stark, a feted documentary film editor and Una Ni Dhonghaile, who has won plaudits for her work editing TV drama, delivered the masterclass chaired by media consultant Alex Graham.
Stark and Dhonghaile each discussed three examples of their work.
