Channel 4 faces a similar obligation under Section 288. On 3 April 2017, Ofcom became the first external regulator of the BBC. Under the Charter and Agreement, Ofcom must set an operating licence for the BBC’s UK public services containing regulatory conditions. We are currently consulting on the proposed quotas as set out in the draft operating licence published on 29 March 2017. See https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and- statements/ofcom-and-the-bbc for further details. As our new BBC responsibilities did not start until April 2017 and this report is based on 2016 data, the BBC quotas reported on herein were set by the BBC Trust. This document sets out the titles of programmes that the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 certified were ‘Made outside of London’ (MOL) productions broadcast during 2016. The name of the production company responsible for the programme is also included where relevant. Wherever this column is empty the programme was produced in-house by the broadcaster.

What is less well known is that it is also one of the best places in the world to enjoy wildlife, and to acquire the skills of a naturalist and wildlife photographer. A large and varied network of reserves and some of the best wildlife-visitor infrastructure in the world, means that London is a surprisingly good destination for wildlife photographers, naturalists and tourists. The presence of a number of local natural history clubs and societies who organise field meetings led by outstanding all-round naturalists means it is also probably unmatched in the potential it offers for people to build their skills as naturalists. Furthermore, London has a long history of having some of the world’s pre-eminent scientific and biological institutions, together with smaller local societies also with long histories staging public talks ranging from cutting edge science to discovering wildlife in your backyard. London is amazing for enjoying wildlife and for developing field skills. For tourism companies, London is attractive with its high density of affluent travellers with an interest in wildlife.

A base will be taken to be substantive if it is the usual place of employment of executives managing the regional business, of senior personnel involved in the production in question, and of senior personnel involved in seeking programme commissions – ‘location’ in the data set out in this register; 1.4.2 At least 70% of the production budget (excluding the cost of on-screen talent, archive material, sports rights, competition prize-money and copyright costs) must be spent in the UK outside the M25 – ‘spend’ in the data set out in this register; and 1.4.3 At least 50% of the production talent (i.e. not on-screen talent) by cost must have their usual place of employment in the UK outside the M25.

  • Experiences of Illegitimacy in England, 1660-1834
    Experiences of Illegitimacy in England, 1660-1834 Kate Louise Gibson A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of History March 2018 Thesis Summary This thesis examines attitudes towards individuals who were born illegitimate in England between the Restoration in 1660 and the New Poor Law of 1834. It explores the impact of illegitimacy on individuals' experiences of family and social life, marriage and occupational opportunities, and sense of identity. This thesis demonstrates that illegitimacy did have a negative impact, but that this was not absolute. The stigma of illegitimacy operated along a spectrum, varying according to the type of parental relationship, the child's gender and, most importantly, the family's socio-economic status. Socio-economic status became more significant as an arbiter of attitudes towards the end of the period. This project uses a range of qualitative evidence - correspondence, life-writing, poor law records, novels, legal and religious tracts, and newspapers - to examine the impact of illegitimacy across the entire life-cycle, moving away from previous historiographical emphasis on unmarried parenthood, birth and infancy. This approach adds nuance to a field dominated by poor law and Foundling Hospital evidence, and prioritises material written by illegitimate individuals themselves. This thesis also has resonance for historical understanding of wider aspects of long- eighteenth-century society, such as the nature of parenthood, family, gender, or emotion, and the operation of systems of classification and 'othering'. This thesis demonstrates that definitions of parenthood and family were flexible enough to include illegitimate relationships.
