CTEEA/S5/21/C19/C006: BBC Scotland CTEEA/S5/21/C19/C006 CULTURE, TOURISM, EUROPE AND EXTERNAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE UPDATE ON THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON SCOTLAND’S CULTURE AND TOURISM SECTORS SUBMISSION FROM BBC SCOTLAND Summary 1. This short submission is a supplementary document to the one previously submitted by BBC Scotland to the Committee’s inquiry in May 2020. It details BBC Scotland’s continuing response to serving its audience during the pandemic, and the impact of the pandemic on public broadcasting operations. 2. Covid-19 continues to have a substantial effect on the BBC’s ability to produce programmes and services. The cancellation of key broadcasting events, ceasing of productions, and changes to schedules will continue to have an impact on what audiences see and hear from the BBC across the coming months. 3. In common with other organisations continuing to operate during this crisis, the BBC has faced operational challenges. At times, we have experienced reduced levels of staffing and a huge increase in demand for the BBC’s internal network as over 15,000 colleagues across the UK continue to work from home. For those whose roles cannot be performed at home, for example in certain on-site broadcast-critical functions, safety is paramount and we continue to follow Scottish and UK Government advice. COVID-19 Impact on the BBC 4. The production of numerous programmes and services continues to be impacted. BBC Scotland welcomes the guidance issued by the Scottish and UK Governments which enables TV and film production to continue to operate with strict safety protocols, and production on a number of key titles has resumed. In Scotland, River City returned to filming in the autumn, and production is also underway on dramas such as Vigil and the second series of Guilt. River City has recently found a way within the guidelines to move from producing 30 minutes per week to 1 hour per week of content. Mrs Brown’s Boys successfully filmed its Christmas and New Year specials under the current production guidelines at BBC Scotland’s Pacific Quay studios. Network production has also resumed, with EastEnders, Doctor Who and Call the Midwife all operating within strict new guidelines, but often with reduced amounts of content being made, due to the impact of following the new protocols. 1 CTEEA/S5/21/C19/C006 5. Inevitably, the temporary suspension of production last year will have a temporary impact on future published levels of spend of the Licence Fee in the UK’s nations, until the production landscape returns to nearer normal levels of activity. This will not necessarily be seen universally across each nation. Spend is included in the BBC’s accounts for the year in which a title is first shown on TV, not the year in which it is made. Some productions made pre-pandemic will “count” towards network spend during the current financial year. For example, His Dark Materials, made in Wales, was largely filmed prior to the pandemic, but was shown recently. Shetland, made in Scotland, would have filmed 2 series over the summer, but with filming completely suspended at that point, and postponed until summer 2021, that Scottish spend will not appear in the BBC’s accounts for some time to come. 6. BBC Scotland is also seeing some studio-based business postpone production by a number of months. Much of this is due to particular productions in which interactions with a studio audience are key to the format, particularly in some areas of children’s television. Audiences in Scotland have not been permitted in TV studios at any stage of the pandemic. This has not been universally the case across the UK, where in some areas the limited return of studio audiences has been permitted. 7. Covid-19 has continued to have an effect on big sporting, music and entertainment moments. BBC Scotland continues to work with partners around the nation to assess what levels of activity will be likely later in the year in order to plan coverage accordingly. Similarly, all previously planned activity from BBC Orchestras and Choirs has been impacted, with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra able to resume some operations with reduced numbers of musicians in order to continue to create new content for BBC Radio 3 and for BBC Scotland, including for Burns Night. Operational Challenges 8. The BBC, like other organisations continuing to operate during the coronavirus crisis, has faced operational challenges with some staff self- isolating, others ill or with caring responsibilities, and most, where possible, working from home. The protection and safety of our staff remains of utmost importance and in line with Scottish Government advice on social distancing we continue to evolve the ways in which we operate whilst maintaining core coverage. In common with other employers across Scotland, we are also supporting staff during a second period of schools being closed, and have agreed flexible working arrangements with regards to hours, and where required, additional leave, in order to accommodate this. 2 CTEEA/S5/21/C19/C006 9. With the majority of the BBC’s staff continuing to work from home, the BBC has provided staff with the resources they need in order to work safely in their home environments. 10. For those whose roles require them to attend a BBC site, the BBC has made very clear, especially during this second nationwide lockdown in Scotland, that only people critical to broadcast or transmission, or who need to be on our sites to do their jobs, should be travelling to our locations. In addition to the existing production-specific protocols in place, there are general site-wide measures such as maintaining social distancing with appropriate signage to assist, regular hand washing and using the gels and wipes that are provided, alongside colleagues wearing face coverings in all communal spaces and when away from their desks or studios. BBC Scotland also has sunflower lanyards and face covering exemption cards to help support people who may be exempt from wearing a face-covering because of an underlying health condition. 11. In addition to these measures, in January 2021, the BBC has begun introducing lateral flow testing and social distancing proximity devices. The lateral flow Covid-19 tests will be available to anyone who needs to come into key BBC locations to do their job on a regular basis with testing carried out by colleagues in their own homes prior to travelling to a BBC base. Social distancing proximity devices, which sound an alert when colleagues are within two metres of each other, are also being introduced for those teams who would find them a helpful addition to all of the other production protocols. With these additional measures, the BBC hopes to add a further layer of protection to delivering its key services to audiences at a time when they need them the most. Finance 12. As a result of coronavirus the BBC put in place plans to reduce spend by £125m as a response to projected COVID impact, as noted in BBC Scotland’s written and oral evidence to the Committee previously. While the BBC has the privilege of the licence fee, income has been impacted as it has become more difficult to collect the fee during lockdown periods, there was a delay to the implementation of the over 75s policy and commercial income has reduced. Going into the coronavirus crisis, the BBC already had 31% less to spend on UK public services than if the licence fee had risen with inflation since 2010. On top of that, the BBC now faces the estimated £125m of lost income this financial year due to the crisis. 13. The BBC took a number of steps including a pay freeze for all employees, postponing annual pay negotiations, implementing a recruitment freeze for 3 CTEEA/S5/21/C19/C006 non-critical roles and launching a voluntary redundancy window across all UK teams. BBC Scotland expects around 80 posts to have closed across our sites in Scotland as a result of the voluntary redundancy process by the end of the current financial year. 14. The BBC also notes the continuing financial impact on the wider production sector, including on the BBC’s supply chain. The BBC’s ongoing work with our partners, including Screen Scotland and MG ALBA, ensures that opportunities for the sector in Scotland continue to be developed even within the current production protocols. BBC Response to the Covid-19 Outbreak Changes to Programmes and Services 15. The BBC continues to repurpose our services and programmes for the benefit of all audiences, ensuring we keep the nation informed, educated and entertained in these unprecedented times. Inform 16. The BBC further enhanced our core role to bring trusted news and information to audiences in Scotland, the UK and around the world in a fast-moving situation, and to counter confusion and misinformation. 17. Key news programmes on TV and radio including Good Morning Scotland, Reporting Scotland, The Nine, Aithris na Maidne and An La all serve to keep audiences up to date on the latest developments, advice and changes in regulations. A socially distanced version of Debate Night and Debate Night Extra has featured key discussions on aspects of the pandemic, alongside output such as Lunchtime Live and Drivetime. 18. As noted in BBC Scotland’s initial submission to the inquiry, BBC Radio Scotland evolved its schedule to provide additional live programming. Over the festive period, the schedule on Radio Scotland and Radio nan Gaidheal offered a range of content to enable greater connectedness amongst the audience during a Christmas and New Year period when meeting in person was not possible.

  • Scottish Ballet to Take Over Televisions This Christmas with Two Special BBC Commissions
    PRESS RELEASE scottishballet.co.uk Scottish Ballet to take over televisions this Christmas with two special BBC commissions Scottish Ballet is delighted to announce that the 50th anniversary year will culminate with two special BBC commissions, which will see the company take over televisions this festive period. In a year of celebrations for Scotland’s national dance company, Scottish Ballet’s 50th anniversary comes to a spectacular close with the world premiere of CEO / Artistic Director Christopher Hampson’s The Snow Queen. The glittering new production will provide the stage for a special performance capture that will be broadcast on BBC Scotland and BBC Four, and close the story on the Five Wishes campaign and a heartwarming documentary of the same name that will be broadcast on BBC One (Scotland) and BBC Scotland. The Snow Queen BBC Scotland audiences will be treated to a special performance of this new ballet as the glittering production takes over their homes, with a feature length screening. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s much-loved tale, The Snow Queen is a story of love and friendship. From the bustle of a winter’s market to the shivers of a fairytale forest, the production takes a journey to the Snow Queen’s palace and finds her surrounded by the icy fragments of an enchanted mirror. Guaranteed to transport the whole family to a place of wonder, The Snow Queen is choreographed by Christopher Hampson, in collaboration with multi-award winning designer Lez Brotherston. Set to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov, the score will be performed by the full Scottish Ballet Orchestra.

  • Service Review
    Delivering Quality First in Scotland DELIVERING QUALITY FIRST IN SCOTLAND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The BBC is the most trusted broadcaster in Scotland and a core part of the life of the nation. It unites the audience in enjoyment of the most popular TV, radio and online services, while also championing the diversity of the interests, cultures and languages of this nation of islands and regions. It is valued for upholding the highest standards of quality. The BBC’s commitment to Scotland is to offer a range and depth of programming which is both widely relevant and uniquely distinctive. As the only broadcaster which has invested in covering the whole country across all platforms, it is well-placed to do this. The BBC’s ambition in Scotland is to serve as a national forum, connecting the people of Scotland to each other, to the wider UK and to the rest of the world. As a public service broadcaster which has secure funding and global reach, the BBC is well-placed to achieve this. The BBC provides value to audiences in Scotland in two main ways: through programmes and services which are made in and for Scotland specifically; and through programmes and services which are broadcast across the whole UK. In Scotland, the audience rates the BBC as the leading provider of both Scottish news and non-news programming. Reporting Scotland has the highest reach of any news bulletin; TV opt-out programming1 reaches 44% of the audience every week and is highly appreciated; BBC Radio Scotland is second in popularity only to BBC Radio Two; BBC Scotland’s online portfolio has 3.7m weekly UK unique browsers2; and BBC ALBA attracts half a million English-speaking viewers to its Gaelic TV channel every week.

  • Media Nations: UK 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.
