Participants on our TV PhD programme have been working with Nutopia to develop ideas based on their research areas with the six best selected to turn those ideas into fully fledged pitches. In this session, they’ll pitch those ideas for commissioners Carolyn Payne and Abigail Priddle and get live feedback on their presentations.
TV PhD is a programme delivered by the TV Foundation in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council which gives 15 PhD students access to exclusive sessions, mentoring and the Festival to help them bring their expertise to the TV industry.
