It’s ITV’s first (and possibly the very first) Ents show back since Covid ground everything to a halt… How different is it? What new procedures are in place? How much more is Covid protocol costing? What’s everyone eating?! Important stuff answered here.

Pitching in Pyjamas? Development during Covid

Three senior and very talented development heads from Pulse Films, Thames TV & Firecracker Films (who also happen to be lovely human beings) on this week’s live session. They will be sharing how the world of development has completely changed during Covid, talking to us about what the landscape is looking like and giving insider info about pitching in this climate. And of course revealing whether they still bother dressing up for commissioner Zoom meets…

Guests: Nelesh Dhand, Kirtsy Calvert-Ansari & Shona Baldwin
