She played the daughter of Detective Inspector Samantha Nixon Abigail in Bill. She played Dr. Jenny's daughter in an episode of Doctor Who's Daughter Doctor and Lady Vivian in The Merlin Show. Tennant's early life was born in London, the daughter of actors Peter Moffett (known by his stage name Peter Davison) and Sandra Dickinson. She attended St Edward's School in Oxford. Tennant made his television debut at the age of 15 at Peak Practice (1999), playing Nicky Davy. Tennant starred in television dramas such as The Second Quest and As a Father as a Son. She played the oppressed Alice Harding in the ITV drama Where's The Heart in 2004 and 2005 and performed alongside her father in Fear, Stress and Anger. In 2007, she made her debut as Matilda Verlaine in Total Eclipse at London's Menier Chocolate Factory. In May 2008, Tennant (as Moffett) appeared in the BBC series Doctor Who as the artificially created daughter of the Tenth Doctor, Jenny, in the episode The Doctor's Daughter, and her future husband David Tennant played the Doctor (Tennant is the daughter of Peter Davison, who played the Fifth Doctor in the 1980s). In August 2008, Tennant starred in series one of the BBC Three spy spin-off Spooks: Code 9 as Kylie Roman. Tennant voiced the role of Cassie Rice in Doctor Who: The Dream in 2010 and played Lady Vivian in an episode of Sweet Dreams in the BBC drama Merlin. She joined the cast of the BBC medical drama Casualty as junior doctor Heather Whitefield, but she was killed at the start of the second episode. In June 2010, she performed in the short play Hens, which ran for four performances at Riverside Studios and then aired on Sky Arts 2, and played an episode in the television drama Thorne: Sleepyhead as the wife of one of the younger detectives (appears in one scene in episode two, and one non-talking scene in episode three).

In May 2012, Moffett made her West End debut in What a Butler Drank at London's Vaudeville Theatre. The play received poor reviews and ticket sales, and on July 13 the production announced through their official website that the play had been canceled and ends next week, a month ahead of schedule. In November 2013, Tennant appeared and produced the anniversary webcast of Five (ish) Doctors reboot and produced Doctor Who as a producer, she was enrolled under her married name Georgia Tennant (although her original acting performances were credited to Georgia Moffett). She was written and directed by her father, and featured a cameo appearance by her husband and her two eldest children (she was at the time of filming heavily pregnant with her third, and a webcast shows a scripted scene of her going into labor). Tennant produced and starred in a short film called 96 Ways to Say I Love You, which also starred her husband David Tennant. The film premiered at the London Independent Film Festival in April 2015. In 2017, she returned to acting, appearing in the BBC drama series In The Dark, which is believed to be Georgia Tennant. Tennant became pregnant after a brief relationship with a university student, and at the age of 17 she had her first child, a son, Ty Peter Tennant (nee Ty Peter Moffett-Martin), on March 27, 2002. Tennant and her son appeared together in the British reality show Four Weddings and doctor who appeared in Doctor Who confidentially. He interviewed her for a video for the BBC website. Ty attends the Shepperton Theatre School, owned by his grandmother, Sandra Dickinson, and made her television commercial for The Great British Teddy Bear Company in May 2010. He also starred in The Five Doctors (behind the credits as Ty Tennant). In January 2011, several newspapers in the UK reported that Georgia Moffett was engaged to actor David Tennant. Georgia Tennant gave birth to the couple's daughter, Olive, two months later, on March 29, 2011. They married on December 30, 2011. Olive made her screen debut at the time of two, playing John Barrowman's daughter in Five (ish) Doctors. On January 5, 2013, Jonathan Ross stated during a television interview with David Tennant that Georgia Tennant was pregnant. On May 2, 2013, Georgia gave birth to a son, Wilfred. On November 9, 2015, David Tennant announced that he and his wife had recently had another young daughter, Doris, and on May 22, 2019, he announced his fifth pregnancy on The Late Late Show with James Corden. On October 13, she announced on her Instagram profile the birth of her fifth child. In March 2020, Tennant revealed that her fifth child, a daughter, had been named Birdie.

On the 9th of May the national association had their AGM with a number of clubs from throughout New Zealand that were involved. First time ever we had to run the meeting through zoom so talking to 40 odd people from around the country was quite weird but it worked. A number of remits were discussed and voted on with a collection of changes mostly good but a few I didn’t agree with but you all can see it all on the association website if you are interested in looking . Also senior and junior nationals were voted on where they should be hosted and that is also advertised on their website. Juniors next year will be in Porirua and Seniors will be in Wanganui.

  • What Is a Lighting Director?
    What is a lighting director by Martin Kempton What is a lighting director? Simply put - a lighting director designs the lighting for multi-camera television productions. He or she instructs the crew of electricians in their work in addition to guiding the team of operators who usually sit with the LD in the lighting control room. All this while working closely with the director and the rest of the production team to deliver the best possible pictures. However, there's rather more to it than that, and on this page on the website I explain where LDs work, what kinds of shows LDs work on and give some of the background to what we do. It's important to point out right away that simple 'illumination' is actually a relatively unimportant part of our work. Current TV cameras are capable of operating in very low light levels so it would be quite possible to see what was going on in most studios simply by switching on the houselights. Fortunately, producers and directors realise that the result would look pretty awful. Another thing is also worth making clear – a lighting director is not an electrician. He or she might have been once, but an LD is not another name for a crew chief or gaffer. Most television LDs do not have electrical qualifications, although some may have. In any case, this is not a requirement of the job. The electrical supervisor (gaffer) is in charge of realising the LD’s design in the studio from the rigging and electrical point of view.

  • Independent Television Producers in England
    Negotiating Dependence: Independent Television Producers in England Karl Rawstrone A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries, University of the West of England, Bristol November 2020 77,900 words. Abstract The thesis analyses the independent television production sector focusing on the role of the producer. At its centre are four in-depth case studies which investigate the practices and contexts of the independent television producer in four different production cultures. The sample consists of a small self-owned company, a medium- sized family-owned company, a broadcaster-owned company and an independent- corporate partnership. The thesis contextualises these case studies through a history of four critical conjunctures in which the concept of ‘independence’ was debated and shifted in meaning, allowing the term to be operationalised to different ends. It gives particular attention to the birth of Channel 4 in 1982 and the subsequent rapid growth of an independent ‘sector’. Throughout, the thesis explores the tensions between the political, economic and social aims of independent television production and how these impact on the role of the producer. The thesis employs an empirical methodology to investigate the independent television producer’s role. It uses qualitative data, principally original interviews with both employers and employees in the four companies, to provide a nuanced and detailed analysis of the complexities of the producer’s role. Rather than independence, the thesis uses network analysis to argue that a television producer’s role is characterised by sets of negotiated dependencies, through which professional agency is exercised and professional identity constructed and performed.

  • Turn Back Time: the Family
    TURN BACK TIME: THE FAMILY In October 2011, my lovely wife, Naomi, responded to an advert from TV production company Wall to Wall. Their assistant producer, Caroline Miller, was looking for families willing to take part in a living history programme. They wanted families who were willing to live through five decades of British history. At the same time, they wanted to retrace the history of those families to understand what their predecessors would have been doing during each decade. Well, as you may have already guessed, Wall to Wall selected the Goldings as one of the five families to appear in the programme. Shown on BBC1 at 9pm from Tuesday 26th June 2012, we were honoured and privileged to film three of the five episodes. As the middle class family in the Edwardian, inter war and 1940s periods, we quite literally had the most amazing experience of our lives. This page of my blog is to share our experiences in more detail – from selection, to the return to normal life! I have done this in parts, starting with ‘the selection process’ and ending with the experience of another family. Much of what you will read was not shown on TV, and may answer some of your questions (those of you who watched it!!). I hope you enjoy reading our story. Of course, your comments are very welcome. PART 1 – THE SELECTION PROCESS I will never forget the moment when I got home from work to be told by Naomi that she had just applied for us to be part of a TV programme.

  • Contentious Comedy
    1 Contentious Comedy: Negotiating Issues of Form, Content, and Representation in American Sitcoms of the Post-Network Era Thesis by Lisa E. Williamson Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Glasgow Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies 2008 (Submitted May 2008) © Lisa E. Williamson 2008 2 Abstract Contentious Comedy: Negotiating Issues of Form, Content, and Representation in American Sitcoms of the Post-Network Era This thesis explores the way in which the institutional changes that have occurred within the post-network era of American television have impacted on the situation comedy in terms of form, content, and representation. This thesis argues that as one of television’s most durable genres, the sitcom must be understood as a dynamic form that develops over time in response to changing social, cultural, and institutional circumstances. By providing detailed case studies of the sitcom output of competing broadcast, pay-cable, and niche networks, this research provides an examination of the form that takes into account both the historical context in which it is situated as well as the processes and practices that are unique to television. In addition to drawing on existing academic theory, the primary sources utilised within this thesis include journalistic articles, interviews, and critical reviews, as well as supplementary materials such as DVD commentaries and programme websites. This is presented in conjunction with a comprehensive analysis of the textual features of a number of individual programmes. By providing an examination of the various production and scheduling strategies that have been implemented within the post-network era, this research considers how differentiation has become key within the multichannel marketplace.
