    October 2020 Message from the Chair Dear Colleague RTS PROGRAMME AWARDS 2021 I am delighted to be the new Chair of the RTS Programme Awards. These are one of the gold standard awards in our industry and are an important showcase of the extraordinary talent evident across all genres in British television. We have taken on board feedback from the industry following last year’s awards. Our aim, as ever, is to reflect the changing television landscape and to make sure the categories recognise the kinds of programmes and talent that make up today's schedules and the best content in Britain. Following discussions with judges and entering companies we have implemented the following changes: • Updated eligibility period: The eligibility period will now follow the calendar year. For this changeover year entries will be accepted from programmes broadcast between 1 November 2019 and 31 December 2020. Please refer to the Conditions of Entry for further details. Please be aware that in order to accommodate this change we will not be able to allow extensions to the entry deadlines. • Minimum duration: We have introduced a minimum duration of 10 minutes (with the maximum duration still 15 minutes) for all performance categories • Comedy Entertainment: We have introduced a new Comedy Entertainment category alongside the existing Entertainment category. • Allocation of entries: in the genre and writing categories we will now limit the number of entries per category by broadcaster rather than by channel. Details of the new limit can be found within the description of each category. Entries in the performance categories remain at 5 per channel.

    The College Chronicle: Writing from Afar

    The College Chronicle: Writing From Afar 1 The Editorial A few members of the Sixth Form, in an attempt to provide some continuity in these uncertain times, have decided to come together and, from afar, write a lockdown edition of the College Chronicle. Our aim with this is to provide a focus on new and interesting topics that, hopefully, might act as a distraction from the problems of the world. Writing for the Sixth Form Newsletter has been very much missed by those Year 13s among us who surrendered our activities sessions in the Lent term for extra A Level revision periods, however we now find ourselves displaced from our usual meeting place of the library, and instead have had to work to put this together solely on the “COVID-19 Newsletter gang” group chat. This edition features an abundance of recommendations for entertaining yourselves in this unique time of confinement. If you are tired of watching the news all day, Laila's whimsical Sitcom Selector will let you find a new TV show to binge watch, with so many suggestions for every situation that you’ll be left spoilt for choice. Reading is another great way of passing the time, and Amelia's new series, Isolation Bookshelf, will provide you with interesting analysis on a range of books, some that may well end up being your next read! Matty, making his College Chronicle debut, puts a coronavirus-themed spin on the classic Desert Island Discs in his Lockdown Listening, sharing with us the albums, TV series, film, book and luxury item he would take into lockdown, as well as interviewing others.
