  • Local TV Summary of Responses to the Local Media Action Plan
    Local TV Summary of responses to the Local Media Action Plan June 2011 1 Our aim is to improve the quality of life for all through cultural and sporting activities, support the pursuit of excellence, and champion the tourism, creative and leisure industries. 2 Local TV Introduction 1. In January 2011, DCMS published a Local Media Action Plan1 setting out options for the creation of a new network of local television services. This plan followed the Shott Review published in December 20102 which looked at the conditions necessary for commercially viable local TV to emerge in the UK. 2. The Local Media Action Plan invited expressions of interest from groups and organisations that had an interest in providing a network channel that would carry and support local services. In addition, DCMS invited comments and views on a range of other questions around provision of local TV. 3. In total, DCMS received 140 responses to the action plan. This was made up of 21 expressions of interest in operating some form of network channel (ranging from centralised models to not-for-profit models to locally owned models); 43 expressions of interest in providing a range of local services; 5 expressions of interest in providing nations-based (i.e. Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland specific) services; and 71 responses offering comments on the local TV policy proposition more generally. 4. A summary of the responses are set out at Annex A. A list of those who responded is set out at Annex B. Key considerations in determining the Local TV model 5. The Secretary of State’s objectives for local TV are a key part of the Government’s localism agenda.

    The Finance and Production of Independent Film and Television in the UK: A Critical Introduction Vital Statistics General Population: 64.1m Size: 241.9 km sq GDP: £1.9tr (€2.1tr) Film1 Market share of UK independent films in 2015: 10.5% Number of feature films produced: 201 Average visits to cinema per person per year: 2.7 Production spend per year: £1.4m (€1.6) TV2 Audience share of the main publicly-funded PSB (BBC): 72% Production spend by PSBs: £2.5bn (€3.2bn) Production spend by commercial channels (excluding sport): £350m (€387m) Time spent watching television per day: 193 minutes (3hrs 13 minutes) Introduction This chapter provides an overview of independent film and television production in the UK. Despite the unprecedented levels of convergence that characterise the digital era, the UK film and television industries remain distinct for several reasons. The film industry is small and fragmented, divided across the two opposing sources of support on which it depends: large but uncontrollable levels of ‘inward-investment’ – money invested in the UK from overseas – mainly from the US, and low levels of public subsidy. By comparison, the television industry is large and diverse, its relative stability underpinned by a long-standing infrastructure of 1 Sources: BFI 2016: 10; ‘The Box Office 2015’ [market share of UK indie films] ; BFI 2016: 6; ‘Exhibition’ [cinema visits per per person]; BFI 2016: 6; ‘Exhibition’ [average visits per person]; BFI 2016: 3; ‘Screen Sector Production’ [production spend per year]. 2 Sources: Oliver & Ohlbaum 2016: 68 [PSB audience share]; Ofcom 2015a: 3 [PSB production spend]; Ofcom 2015a: 8.

  • Horrible Science World Presents
    Horrible Science World Presents: Excellent Experiments and Awesome Activities. The following experiments and activities are taken from the ‘Horrible Science’ series of books published by Scholastic, and are divided into the different Zones that the character Billy Miller visits in the Birmingham Stage Company play ‘Horrible Science’. The journey Billy goes on through Horrible Science World in order to understand science is a good way of introducing the subject of scientific enquiry. Only by developing his knowledge, skills and understanding is Billy able to survive Horrible Science World and save the day. This often involves investigation and trying things out (eg: pushing the button before pulling the lever to control gravity in the Gravitarium) and collaboration (Eg: Billy and the scientists working together to make a circuit.) This is further underlined by the involvement of the audience throughout the play – he needs our help as co-collaborators and co-learners if he’s going to triumph. Links can be made across the scenes in the play to encourage creative thinking (Eg1: the fact that bacteria live inside us is introduced by the Big Bacteria, and then picked up again in Frankenstein’s Lab, as the reason we get stomach gas. Eg2: metal being a good conductor and used in the circuit in Act 1 makes it a potentially dangerous material inside the Thuderdome) The activities and experiments for each zone contain an introduction suggesting further links with the play, and suggestions for how they could be used in helping pupils discover more behind the science in the story.
