The two media lawyers looked at the contractual, legal and regulatory issues that can crop up in access docs – films that that require access to institutions such as hospitals or communities – including data protection, defamation and advice on drafting access agreements.
They also tackled other thorny issues such as the police requesting rushes and contributors withdrawing consent.
Twenty-four local writers attended a writer’s workshop with Fortitude creator/writer Simon Donald; executive producer and managing director of Fifty Fathoms Patrick Spence; and script producer Ben Stoll.
After discussing how the project moved from idea to script to screen, the execs each hosted a round table with the writers to answer questions, and provide insights and career advice.
The channel’s commissioning editor Adrian Padmore added: “We have lots of shows doing one million – [we want] to get three million and take the channel forward.”
At the RTS Bristol event – held at the Everyman Cinema and chaired by Plimsoll Productions founder and CEO Grant Mansfield – Frow explored the evolution of Channel 5. “We are working with people now who we would never have worked with five years ago,” he said.
Frow described the channel’s tone as “populist but never ordinary. We are unashamedly mainstream, down to earth, honest and warm.”

"Mists and mellow fruitfulness” means festival season in Bristol. This is when the city’s creative sector comes together to celebrate its talent and share a sense of belonging.
A festival is all about entertainment. Those festivals with a specific focus on cultural groups often seek to inform community members of their traditions and involve elders who share stories and experiences.
That couldn’t be a more fitting description for the creative-industry family that calls Bristol home.
