RTS Futures Summer Party
This year RTS Futures are joining forces with the Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival Talent Schemes to host a celebration and party for you with some of the biggest names in the television industry.
This is a party like no other – an opportunity you could only dream of – a chance to meet the people behind some of the most talked about shows on British television, as we open the evening with a special Q&A session
The trouble with TV's pandemic punditry
My idea of heaven is Monty Python’s Whicker’s World spoof, Whicker Island, where our hero wistfully waters whisky while wantonly waxing words with W. For me, hell would be a post-lockdown lock-in in a dodgy pub full of TV pundits.
Brexit and football have taught me not only to distrust these people, but to despise them as they fling unsubstantiated opinions around like the proverbial brown stuff hitting the fan. It is messy, unpleasant and the odour stays with you for ages.
RTS LONDON - TVC 60
RTS London Centre has produced an online event to celebrate this milestone, and this article contains links to other sites and sources we think will interest you.
A good starting place is the BBC’s own history site, with a huge range of archive footage and oral history interviews with some key figures, including Biddy Baxter MBE, Editor of Blue Peter for 23 years.
Meet Isobel Waller-Bridge, film and TV composer
From scratch nights writing music for plays performed above pubs, to composing for Black Mirror, Vanity Fair, Fleabag and The ABC Murders, Waller-Bridge is making an impact in the film and TV industry.
“I absolutely love film. I love the world they can take you to, what they can do with your imagination,” Waller-Bridge enthuses.
Throughout our conversation, she talks a lot about collaboration, how important it is and the key part it plays in why she loves her job.
Crack composing for TV & Film: music exec Sarah Liversedge shares her tips
It’s not a completely closed shop however, says Sarah Liversedge, Managing Director of independent music publisher BDI. “There’s lots of different [routes to] how someone approaches somebody like me.”
My RTS Bursary Diary: Paula Melissa Ugochukwu
When I learnt of the Royal Television Society (RTS) bursaries in 2015, I knew I had to apply. Any organisation actively committed to the diversification and inclusion of underrepresented groups within the British media will always hold a place in my heart. Plus, being part of the RTS is a great opportunity to network with media industry leaders - an opportunity that I was very unlikely to stumble across as a young black woman, from a low-income family.
