Commissioning Details Commissioning Year 2016/2017 Core Commissioning Details Commissioning Year 2016/2017 Core Strand Pause For Thought Round Opens 20/10/16 Round Closes 17/11/16 @ noon Invitation to tender for ‘Pause For Thought’ BBC Radio 2 is a distinctive mixed music and speech network, broadcasting for a broad audience which aims to appeal to all age groups over 35, with the average listener age being 52. The network offers entertaining popular and specialist music programmes and speech-based content including news, current affairs, documentaries, religion, arts and social action output. The station boasts an award winning blend of top name presenters including, Chris Evans, Steve Wright, Claudia Winkleman, Graham Norton, Jeremy Vine, Ken Bruce, Paul O’Grady, Dermot O’Leary, Simon Mayo, Jo Whiley, Bob Harris, Clare Balding and Paul Gambaccini. Religion and faith are key to the stations remit, where informed, articulate and engaging presenters provide intelligent presentation representing beliefs and comment from across the broad spectrum of faith across the UK. The Pause For Thought programming currently sits within Janice Long (pre-rec), Alex Lester (pre-rec), Vanessa Feltz (live), Chris Evans (live), and Anneka Rice (pre-rec). The contract will be for an initial period of 12 months (with the potential to extend up to a maximum of two further years). This business represents part of the WoCC (Window of Creative Competition) and is therefore open both to Independent and Internal suppliers. EDTIORIAL BRIEF FOR PROGRAMME Radio 2 is looking to commission a production base and producer with a proven track record in national radio for creating innovative radio programming around a spoken word religious format - with proven knowledge of scripting for religious / faith output. The programme should serve the broad Radio 2 audience expectation spanning the 35 upwards demographic, representing the views from across the religious / faith spectrum. The 3 minute programme should explore contemporary themes and reflect on issues relevant to the audience, exploring the importance of faith in people's lives, celebrating the broad spectrum of beliefs in the UK today. There will be scope to discuss and develop the programme format with the network. The presenters will be contracted by the production base. The programme will be a mixture of live studio based presentation and pre- recorded. Radio 2 has existing studio space and resources within BBC Western House, London, although producers are not required to use these resources. Independent companies wishing to make use of non-BBC studios are welcomed. It is intended that the production will start in January 2017. FINANCE & CONTRACT DETAILS The strand is being put to tender for 17 originations a week. The contract will be offered initially for a period of 12 months (with the potential to extend up to a maximum of two further years). The Guide Price for the production of the strand has been set at £188 per show (should the producers choose to use Western House studios - based on the historic use of Radio 2’s studios for the live transmissions). Tenders submitted in excess of this guide price on this basis are extremely unlikely to be considered further. The price remains at the same level for programmes that are pre-recorded. TERMS OF TRADE These production contracts will be offered under the new (2015) BBC Terms of Trade for Independent Radio Commissions (a copy of which is available at http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/site/radio-general-terms-2015.pdf), amended to reflect that the ownership of the format and programme copyright remains with the BBC.

  • Celebrates Its First Birthday at the Duchess Theatre with Booking Period Extended to September 2016
    Press Release: 8 September 2015 CELEBRATES ITS FIRST BIRTHDAY AT THE DUCHESS THEATRE WITH BOOKING PERIOD EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 2016 THE ORIGINAL CAST ARE BACK IN THE WEST END WITH A SEASONAL RUN OF PETER PAN GOES WRONG AT THE APOLLO THEATRE The Play That Goes Wrong, the Olivier Award-winning box office hit, celebrates its first, triumphant year in the West End, and as a new booking period opens with tickets going on sale until 11 September 2016, the show's phenomenal popularity with audiences looks set to continue. For a limited run over the festive season at the Apollo Theatre, the original cast of The Play That Goes Wrong will bring their trademark comic mayhem to the J.M. Barrie classic and timeless favourite, Peter Pan. In Peter Pan Goes Wrong, the members of The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society once again battle against technical hitches, flying mishaps and cast disputes on their way to Neverland with hilarious and disastrous results. Awarded the 2014 Whatsonstage.com Best New Comedy and the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, The Play That Goes Wrong continues to thrive and it is a remarkable rags-to-riches story. The production's unparalleled trajectory of success began in 2013, when it opened as a one-act show at the Old Red Lion in London with only four paying members of the public at the first performance. This was followed by a transfer to the Trafalgar Studios, where the show's unique potential was spotted by producers Kenny Wax and Stage Presence, and subsequently to the Duchess Theatre.

P22 P20 P13 2 NEWS Welcome z Mark Hayhurst z @craftbiz z [email protected] z As a craft industry journalist, it’s important for me to become entrenched within the industry. It’s part of my job to know the pressures and motivators within our sector that drive every business owner, from the large manufacturers and distributors, right the way through to the bricks-and-mortar high street craft shop. Sometimes, however, it can be a breath of fresh air to momentarily get a glimpse at how the wider world sees our industry, and that was an insight I was offered when I was invited to speak on BBC Breakfast for their business segment. We filmed at the Creative Craft Show at the ExCel London and the Beeb talked about how booming the UK’s creative industries were, how we’re seeing an upsurge in younger generations taking up craft as an antidote to screen time and how suddenly, the area we’ve all been working in for years is really rather… well, cool! And it’s not hard to see why. Craft works hand-in-hand with BBC Two announces trend-creating social media, allowing makers to reach out and connect with others for advice and inspiration, or often, just to show off their brilliant projects.

  • In Strictest Confidence from the Critically Acclaimed Dancer, Director, Choreographer and Star of BBC’S Strictly Come Dancing
    In Strictest Confidence From the critically acclaimed dancer, director, choreographer and star of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing... Published 18th October 2018 £20 | Hardback | Michael O’Mara Books Under embargo until 17th October The third instalment in Craig Revel Horwood’s frank and funny autobiography takes the reader through the highs and lows of the Strictly Come Dancing star’s ‘fab-u-lous’ life. Join Craig and a host of Strictly stars - including Ore Oduba, Judy Murray, and the unforgettable Ed Balls - and get the real stories from behind the scenes.

Away from Strictly, Craig reveals fresh heartache over failed romances, his pain at losing his Dad and how his work kept him from flying to Australia for the funeral. He marks the milestones in his life, including turning fifty and moving to London to live in a ‘gorgeous’ country pile, as well as going under the knife for a second hip operation plus a few nips and tucks. With his famous wit and a wealth of backstage gossip and photographs, In Strictest Con idence is the perfect read for all of Craig’s fans as well as those of Strictly Come Dancing. Craig Revel Horwood has been a member of the judging panel on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing since it began in 2004. The 2017 series of Strictly was the show’s most popular year in its fourteen-year history, with an average of 11 million viewers every Saturday night.
