Not So Guilty Pleasures: Does TV Have A Snobbery Problem?
54m
What’s your TV guilty pleasure? What shows do you REALLY watch, while telling your colleagues you’re up to date on the latest hard-hitting doc or arty drama? In this cheeky, humorous session, we’re interrogating why some shows are deemed more credible or award-worthy than others – both to watch and to work on. Are labels like “guilty pleasure” or “trash TV” problematic, what impact does this have on commissioning and does this speak to a wider problem of classism in television? We’re celebrating those shows often looked down on, the skill it takes to make them and the joy they bring to viewers.
