BBC Three and BBC England launch Factual Development Scheme for Northern England
BBC Three and BBC England have collaborated to form a new Factual Development Scheme for the North of England called Northern Voices.
The partnership is offering commissions to local independent production companies for new ideas for documentaries that reflect the experiences of young people in the region.
A new documentary talent must be attached to the pitch with a view to nurture them throughout production, as the partnership aims to improve both the production supply and talent pool from the region.
