Meet the Controller: BBC One
Edinburgh TV Festival 2020
•
47m
Charlotte Moore, BBC director of content,
will talk about how BBC One has reacted to
a tumultuous year and discuss the direction
of the channel at a moment of widespread
industry and social change.
BBC One has captured huge audiences as the
nation clamoured for information as a global
pandemic took hold, and sought entertainment
during testing times.
The channel, as well as registering some
notable successes in 2020, also faces huge
challenges as viewing habits change and
making TV shows becomes more complex with
new protocols and safeguards in place.
How will the nation’s most-watched channel
rise to the challenges ahead, how will it ensure
that what is on-screen reflects the audiences
it serves? Moore will be joined by drama and
entertainment controllers Piers Wenger and
Kate Philips respectively, to tackle these
questions and others
