Commissioner have long decided the fate of our TV ideas; but do we still need them in 2022? In a world where content can be self-produced, published and monetised on global platforms, what role do they play? We’ll meet the people making the ideas they love without a commissioner's green light and talk to them about how they've built an alternative business model. We'll also talk to current commissioners about how their role is adapting to provide more value to producers beyond giving a green light.
