2020 Impact Report 2020 Impact Report 2020 Impact Report We are pleased to share with you the following MASTERPIECE Trust Impact Report, which highlights MASTERPIECE and The MASTERPIECE Trust’s recent accomplishments. It goes without saying that 2020 was a year of unprecedented challenges, and we are so proud that MASTERPIECE has continued to deliver accessible, uplifting, high-quality programming in these historic times. This past year, our team released a slate of critically-acclaimed new and returning programs and engaged audiences in innovative ways through cross-platform media initiatives. So much of what MASTERPIECE has done in this arena simply would not have been possible without your dedication and generosity. Until we can gather again, please know how much your support means to the entire MASTERPIECE team. We do hope that we’re able to thank you in person before too long – celebrating MASTERPIECE’s achievements together will be all the more profound after our time apart! Warmly, Susanne Simpson Rebecca Eaton Emma Thomas Executive Producer Executive Major Gifts Officer Producer-At-Large The MASTERPIECE Trust 2 2020 Impact Report MASTERPIECE Trust Members Around the Country MASTERPIECE Trust Partner Stations o HPM/Houston o TPT/Twin Cities o KERA/North Texas o VPBS/Vermont o KLRU/Austin o VPM/Richmond o KPBS/ San Diego o WCMU/Michigan o KQED/ San Francisco o WHRO/Norfolk o KWSU/Washington o WNET/New York o MPBN/Maine o WPBT2/South Florida o MPT/Maryland o WPT/Wisconsin o NEPM/Springfield o WTCI/Chattanooga o OETA/Oklahoma o WTTW/Chicago o PMGoSC/Los Angeles o WUCF/Orlando MASTERPIECE Trust in 2020 Partnerships MASTERPIECE Trust 22 partner stations 47 current donors across the country c Contributions Money Shared Over $35.6 million Over $9.1 million since 2011 has gone to support our partner stations The MASTERPIECE Trust 3 2020 Impact Report Responding to the Current Moment The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the course of global history and continues to impact lives across the nation. While media production and entertainment industries have been impacted by COVID restrictions, MASTERPIECE has taken numerous strategic steps in response to the pandemic in order to ensure that the series is able to continue to serve as an avenue for comfort, entertainment, and education. When five of MASTERPIECE’s shows stopped filming very suddenly due to lockdowns prompted the onset of COVID, Executive Producer Susanne Simpson reached out to distributors and producers to acquire programming that was already finalized or in the editing process. With the foresight to purchase these shows at the beginning of lockdown, MASTERPIECE had already curated an impressive line-up for our 2021-2022 anniversary season before competitive cable networks entered the market. While some MASTERPIECE productions were delayed by critical safety measures, production has recently resumed in the UK. Expenses have risen, however, due to new COVID safety precautions which limit the number of people on set, require medical monitoring, and necessitate additional preventative measures. We are grateful for the enduring support of the MASTERPIECE Trust, which makes our work possible. We do hope the series has provided a bit of salve for you on Sunday nights during this trying time. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Efforts In the wake of the global cry for racial and social justice, MASTERPIECE has confirmed its commitment to amplifying diverse perspectives by actively seeking out diversity in the writing, casting, and production of its programs. This year, executive leadership continued working with our UK partners to prioritize stories that give people of color a voice. We are gratified that our production partners are equally dedicated to highlighting these important stories. “A lot of people hide behind history. They don’t do the work to uncover characters of people of color. I didn’t take the part in Les Mis because I was trying to support color- blind casting. I took it because I researched it, and found it was realistic to have a Black police officer in France during the time period.” - David Oyelowo (Javert; Les Misérables) The MASTERPIECE Trust 4 2020 Impact Report MASTERPIECE Behind the Scenes MASTERPIECE in the Press “This is still glorious” “[An] extraordinarily Endeavour Season 7; Observer (UK) affecting series” World on Fire; The Wall Street Journal “Deftly weaves the strands together” Roadkill; New York Times “Sure to win the hearts and minds of a new generation” Van Der Valk; “The perfect recipe…” Sydney Morning Herald Flesh and Blood; The Guardian “[An] exquisite production, both beautiful and thoughtful” “Off to a thrillingly Sanditon; chewy start” Vulture Baptiste; “Lavish, sumptuous, The Independent and larger than life” Beecham House; The Herald (Scotland) The MASTERPIECE Trust 5 2020 Impact Report New on MASTERPIECE MASTERPIECE was excited to premiere several new series this past year, including: Sanditon – An eight-part drama, based on an unfinished Jane Austen novel, Sanditon depicts the drama surrounding a resort town on England’s southern coast. The stirring romance between Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) and Sidney Parker (Theo James) struck a particular chord with audiences. Both enthralling and captivating, Sanditon is truly “a modern Masterpiece.” -CNN Howards End – Adapted from E.M. Forster's classic novel, this story of England at the turn of the 20th century is told through the lens of three families confronting the ever-changing paradigms of society, class, and welfare. World on Fire – Bursting onto the entertainment scene, this epic, sweeping war-drama follows an impressive ensemble of characters (led by Academy Award-winner Helen Hunt and Sean Bean) as they navigate the opening salvos of WWII. Already renewed for a second season, World on Fire “is a page-turner of a show.” -The New York Times Baptiste – Tchéky Karyo returns to his role as Baptiste in a Courtesy of Ben Blackall / © Mammoth Screen 2019 stirring detective tale set in present-day Amsterdam.

Beecham House – Written, produced, and directed by Gurinder Chadha, this lush drama set in 19th century Delhi tells the story of ex-soldier John Beecham (Tom Bateman) as he attempts to start a new life after his tenure with the British East India Company. Van der Valk – In a new adaptation of Nicolas Freeling’s detective novels, the titular Van Der Valk (Marc Warren) investigates high profile cases and gritty murders that immerse him and his team in Amsterdam’s fast-paced worlds of art, politics, addiction, mysticism, and fashion. Flesh and Blood – Flesh and Blood is a modern day domestic drama boasting a stellar cast (including Francesca Annis, Imelda Staunton and Russell Tovey) and brimming with secrets and scandal. Roadkill – The incomparable Hugh Laurie (House) stars as the charismatic Peter Laurence in this four-part political thriller penned by acclaimed playwright David Hare. The Courtesy of MASTERPIECE 2020 late Helen McCrory also garnered critical praise for her role as Prime Minister Dawn Ellison, rounding out an enthralling drama set against the highest levels of British government and misbehavior.

Filming for the sixth series is already underway in Cambridgeshire, Hampshire and Hertfordshire. Endeavour – In Endeavour’s seventh season, the cerebral Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans) and his mentor, Fred Thursday (Roger Allam), enter a new era of change in Oxford amidst the dawn of women’s liberation, social progression, and scientific growth. A ratings boon, Endeavour has solidified its status as one of MASTERPIECE’s most iconic series. Courtesy of MASTERPIECE Mystery! 2019 New Projects in Development Magpie Murders – In July 2020, MASTERPIECE shared its plans to co-produce Magpie Murders, an adaptation of the best-selling, critically-acclaimed novel by Anthony Horowitz, OBE. A distinctive and beguiling crime drama scripted by the novelist himself, Magpie Murders follows Susan Ryeland, an editor who is given an unfinished manuscript and must subsequently tread the line between reality and fiction in her quest to uncover the truth. Susanne Simpson states, “Our MASTERPIECE audience will truly enjoy this intriguing story of a mystery within a mystery.” Ridley Road - In September 2020, MASTERPIECE announced that Ridley Road, a coproduction with RED Production Company and BBC One, had started production. Ridley Road is a thriller adapted from the critically acclaimed novel of the same name, written by Jo Bloom. It brings together an award-winning cast, including Rory Kinnear (The Imitation Game), Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan), and Tom Varey (Game of Thrones). This program follows Vivien Epstein, a young Jewish woman who, after falling in love with a member of the ‘62 Group,’ rejects her comfortable middle-class life in Manchester and joins the fight against fascism in London.

  • If You Take the King's Shilling, You Do the King's Bidding: Funding and Censorship of Public Television Programs
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 395 338 CS 509 239 AUTHOR Drushel, Bruce E. TITLE If You Take the King's Shilling, You Do the King's Bidding: Funding and Censorship of Public Television Programs. PUB DATE Nov 95 NOTE 21p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (81st, San Antonio, TX, November 18-24, 1995). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Information Analyses (070) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Censorship; Conservatism; *Financial Support; *Government Role; Higher Education; Homosexuality; Legislators; Mass Media; *Moral Issues; *Programming (Broadcast); *Public Television IDENTIFIERS Congress; *Controversial Topics; First Amendment; Religious Right ABSTRACT Public broadcasting in the United States frequently draws criticism from conservatives who accuse it of pursuing an agenda promoting environmentalism, gay rights, affirmative action, reproductive choice, and other liberal causes, and of being hostile to conservative interests such as defense, the pro-life effort, and the promotion of Christian values. To date, concerns over censorship in public television have focused, not on overt efforts by Congress to determine the bounds of acceptable programs, but on not-so-subtle pressure at both the national and the local level to self-censor or risk loss of funding. Several recent cases of controversial programs have led to calls for ties between funding of the public television system and program content--programs such as "Tongues Untied," "Portrait of a Marriage," and "Tales of the City." Assessing the constitutionality of possible future efforts by Congress to place content-related conditions on the funding of,public television seems to require that 3 areas of law be analyzed: (1) the current statutory framework in which the public television system operates;(2) the recent case law in the area of the First Amendment and public broadcasting; and (3) relevant overarching judicial principles.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Unique collaboration with RSC to mark 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death Shakespeare in Art: Tempests, Tyrants and Tragedy 19 March ‐ 19 June 2016 Compton Verney, Warwickshire Already hailed as one of 2016’s must‐see exhibitions, Shakespeare in Art: Tempests, Tyrants and Tragedy is a landmark collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company commemorating the 400th anniversary of the bard’s death. A master of dramatising human emotions in their myriad forms, Shakespeare’s plays have in turn inspired countless artists. Shakespeare in Art: Tempests, Tyrants and Tragedy will focus on those pivotal Shakespeare plays which have motivated artists across the ages – from Sargent, Fuseli, Rossetti, Blake, Watts and Romney to Karl Weschke, Kate Tempest and Tom Hunter – exploring the enduring appeal of the Elizabethan playwright. This exhibition offers an exceptional opportunity for both art and theatre lovers to reimagine Shakespeare’s works through a unique series of multi‐media, multi‐sensory encounters; including painting, photography, projection, sound and light. Using specially commissioned audio drawing on excerpts from Shakespeare's plays, leading RSC actors will bring to life scenes from some of the major paintings. Uniquely for an art gallery, the exhibition will be designed by the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Director of Design, Stephen Brimson Lewis. Over seventy works – including paintings, drawings, engravings, woodcuts and photos – have been sourced from across the UK for this remarkable show, taking place just nine miles away from Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford‐upon‐Avon. Works will travel to Compton Verney from Bolton, Birmingham, Edinburgh and York, plus Tate and the V&A in London and the show will also include a number of key works from the RSCS’s own, rarely publicly displayed art collection.
