  • Response to House of Commons DCMS Select Committee Inquiry on the Impact of Covid-19
    Response to House of Commons DCMS Select Committee inquiry on the Impact of Covid-19 June 2020 Introduction 1. TAC (Teledwyr Annibynnol Cymru) represents the independent television production sector in Wales. Our sector is a highly important element of the creative industries in Wales and the UK overall, providing economic, social and cultural benefits through supplying creative content. There are around 50 companies in the sector, ranging from sole traders to some of the leading players in the UK production industry. They produce content for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky as well as other commercial broadcasters. They produce almost all of the original television and online media content for the Welsh-language broadcaster S4C, and a variety of radio productions for UK-wide networks. 2. In recent years, Wales’ reputation as a centre of first-class drama production has grown significantly with productions such as 15 Days, Un Bore Mercher / Keeping Faith, Bang, Craith / Hidden and Y Gwyll / Hinterland. Our sector also offers a great deal of expertise in genres such as factual documentary, children’s programmes, sport and entertainment. Overseas programme and format sales have increased, and our members are also experienced in international co-productions. Answers to Specific Committee Questions What has been the immediate impact of Covid-19 on the sector? 3. As with all industries, the TV production sector has faced significant challenges due to the impact of Covid-19 and the introduction of necessary social distancing measures. Productions have been cancelled or postponed and a wide range of programme genres have been affected.

  • Carol Vorderman, Despite Having Spent 30 Years on National TV, Written Countless Books and Fronted Many Successful Commercial Ventures
    wellbeing CELEBRITY LIVES There’s nothing diva-ish about Carol Vorderman, despite having spent 30 years on national TV, written countless books and fronted many successful commercial ventures. Interviewing her is more like chatting to an old friend. She resolutely refuses to take herself seriously and politely shuns any attempt at flattery. Vorderman laughs off the suggestion that she is a fabulous advert for someone who has turned 50. “Well, 51,” she gently corrects, with a reassuring insistence on numerical accuracy. And why not? This woman is smart in every way and she knows it. People often talk of the confidence of youth, but the former Countdown presenter has a far more deep-rooted confidence, born of long-standing success and of being comfortable in her own skin. “That’s kind of you to say, but it’s all about making small adjustments to be healthy, without being obsessive,” she says. “First and foremost, I should point out that I am a workaholic. I put in lots and lots of very long hours, often for days on end, and I always have done.
