BBC First Is the New Home of Premium British Drama and Comedy In BBC First is the new home of premium British drama and comedy in Australia, showcasing the best award-winning, world-renowned programmes and talent in one place for the first time. BBC First will offer a huge breadth of programmes from crime to period dramas; romance action and adventure to dark psychological thrillers and from features to sweeping series and every configuration in between. Bringing viewers programmes first, uninterrupted and faster than ever before, the channel launches on Foxtel on Sunday 3rd August. LAUNCH DAY LINE-UP The channel will launch at 9.30am with a special box set screening of all 10 episodes of the cinematic blockbuster The Musketeers. The box set will be followed at 7.30pm by a preview of the first episode of BAFTA award winning Peaky Blinders, starring Cillian Murphy and Sam Neill, and at 8.30pm by the captivating single drama Burton and Taylor which earned Helena Bonham Carter Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations and also stars Dominic West. First on Foxtel Box set: Sunday at 9.30am on August 3 Double episodes: Sundays at 8.30pm from August 10 A thrilling world of action, adventure and romance inspired by Dumas' legendary characters, starring Luke Pasqualino, Tom Burke, Santiago Cabrera, Howard Charles and Peter Capaldi. On the streets of 17th century Paris, law and order is more a fledgling idea than reality, and the Musketeers, Athos, Aramis and Porthos, are far more than merely royal bodyguards for King Louis XIII; they are inseparable, loyal unto death and committed to upholding justice. Together, this crack team of highly trained soldiers fight for honour, for valour, for love, and just for the pure thrill of it. When d'Artagnan arrives in Paris to avenge his father's death he soon impresses the three Musketeers with his bravery and skill, and quickly discovers kindred spirits in these boisterous soldiers. In a series all about passion, loyalty, heroism and brotherhood, d'Artagnan and the Musketeers face a continuing struggle to maintain order and protect the King and Queen, while outwitting the machinations of the shadowy Cardinal Richelieu as he ruthlessly strives to achieve his vision of a modern France along with his hired assassin, the beautiful but mysterious Milady de Winter. Starring: Luke Pasqualino (Skins), Tom Burke (Great Expectations), Santiago Cabrera (Merlin), Howard Charles, Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who), Tamla Kari (Cuckoo), Maimie McCoy (Loving Miss Hatto). 10 x 50' For extra video content contact [email protected] To download assets go to www.bbcmedia.com.au First on Foxtel Sneak preview: Sunday at 7.30pm on August 3 Series starts with Episode 1 & 2 on Thursday at 8.30pm on August 7 and continues Thursdays at 8.30pm from August 14 Cillian Murphy, Sam Neill and Annabelle Wallis star in this epic gangster family saga set in the lawless streets of post-war Birmingham on the cusp of the 1920s. The critically acclaimed, BAFTA award-winning series has been hailed as the next Boardwalk Empire (The Guardian) and has a soundtrack featuring music from Nick Cave and The White Stripes. Britain in 1919 is a tumultuous mix of despair and hedonism, a nation cleaned out by the extravagances of the Great War. Returning soldiers, newly minted revolutionaries and criminal gangs all fight for survival in an industrial landscape gripped by economic upheaval. Thomas Shelby and his family run the most feared and powerful local gang, the Peaky Blinders. Named for their practice of sewing razor blades into the peaks of their caps, they make money from illegal betting, protection and the black market. But Tommy's ambitions go beyond running the streets, and when a crate of guns goes missing from an arms factory, he recognises an opportunity to move up in the world. Crime pays, but business pays better. As rival gangs, Communist revolutionaries and IRA Fenians descend on Small Heath in pursuit of the weapons, Winston Churchill dispatches a ruthless police chief from Belfast to impose order on an increasingly lawless city and recover the guns. Peaky Blinders is a vibrant evocation of a hedonistic age. Starring: Cillian Murphy (The Dark Knight), Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), Helen McCrory (Skyfall) and Annabelle Wallis (The Tudors) 6 x 60' For extra video content contact [email protected] To download assets go to www.bbcmedia.com.au First on Foxtel Sunday at 8.30pm on August 3 Starring award-winning actor Dominic West and Helena Bonham Carter, nominated for a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for her mesmerising performance, Burton and Taylor tells the story of Hollywood's original 'it' couple in the twilight of their star-crossed relationship. When Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton met on the set of Cleopatra, the attraction was immediate. The public were enthralled by their illicit romance, two tempestuous marriages, frequent break-ups and extravagant reunions. They were the original fabulous stars, conspicuous in their consumption of clothes, houses, yachts, diamonds, and more damagingly, alcohol. This captivating drama tells the tale of Hollywood's most glamorous couple, as they acted together for the last time in Noel Coward's play, Private Lives, in 1983. Beyond the alcohol, pills and the trappings of fame, was love the ultimate crutch that allowed them to escape the realities of their extraordinary lives?

From multi-award winning screenwriter Paula Milne, The Politician's Husband tells the story of Senior Cabinet Minister Aiden Hoynes who is happily married to Freya, a junior minister who has consistently put her own career ambitions on hold for the sake of Aidan's career and their family. A rising star in Parliament, Aidan hatches a plot with his close friend and Cabinet colleague Bruce to trigger a leadership coup. However his support mysteriously dissipates and it becomes clear that Bruce has betrayed him in order to bid for leadership himself. Aidan is banished to the back benches. At the same time Freya is offered a cabinet post. Aiden encourages her to take it and together they work out a plan to return him to power. However their pact backfires - once Freya has tasted power she is reluctant to relinquish it. From acclaimed writer Paula Milne, the drama is a companion piece to her BAFTA and Emmy Award winning The Politician's Wife.

But underneath this veneer simmers a cauldron of lies and guilty secrets, driven by love, ambition and sex. Set in and around a busy gynaecology unit at a time when abortion is illegal and the contraceptive pill is only available to married women, medicine becomes the perfect stage to play out the shifting moral codes of early 60s society. Starring: Jack Davenport (Pirates of the Caribbean), Natasha Little (Kidnap and Ransom), Joanna Page (Love Actually), Sarah Parish (The Holiday) and Shaun Dingwall (Charles II: The Power and The Passion) 6 x 60' For extra video content contact [email protected] To download assets go to www.bbcmedia.com.au First on Foxtel Double episodes: Wednesdays at 8.30pm from August 6 Winner of two BAFTA awards and a Royal Television Society award, The Fear stars award winning actor Peter Mullan as crime boss Richie Beckett.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.

  • BBC Children's News and First-Run UK Originated Programmes
    BBC Children’s news and first-run UK originations Statement on the BBC’s request to change its Operating Licence [] Redacted for publication BBC Children’s news and first-run UK originations – Welsh overview STATEMENT: Publication Date: 28 July 2020 Contents Section 1. Overview 1 2. Background 4 3. Our decisions on changes to the Operating Licence 7 Annex A1. Comparison of current and revised Operating Licence conditions 50 A2. Notice of Variation 56 A3. Equality impact assessment 59 1. Overview This document explains Ofcom’s final decisions following a request by the BBC to change its Operating Licence to allow it to meet its news and new content commitments for children by increasing its online provision. This follows a consultation setting out our provisional views, which we published in November 2019. Our research shows that children are increasingly consuming content online, while the reach of linear television on the TV set among children is continuing to decline.1 In April-May 2020, during lockdown, linear viewing saw a resurgence among children, but it is already falling again.2 Given these changes, the BBC must innovate and adapt its approach in order to stay relevant to its youngest audiences. In Ofcom’s most recent Annual Report on the BBC3, we said that the BBC needs to work harder to reach young people by making content that appeals to them and ensuring that it is readily available where they want it. If younger audiences don’t engage with the BBC, then public support for the licence fee could be eroded, which is a significant risk to the future sustainability of the BBC.

  • The Scheduling and Reception of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel in the UK
    Vampire Hunters: the Scheduling and Reception of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel in the UK Annette Hill and Ian Calcutt Introduction In a viewers’ feedback programme on TV, a senior executive responded to public criticism of UK television’s scheduling and censorship of imported cult TV. Key examples included Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin off series Angel. The executive stated: ‘The problem is, with some of the series we acquire from the States, in the States they go out at eight o’clock or nine o’clock. We don’t have that option here because we want to be showing history documentaries or some other more serious programming at eight or nine o’clock’ [1]. TV channels in the UK do not perceive programmes like Buffy and Angel, which have garnered critical and ratings success in the USA, appropriate for a similarly prominent timeslot. Although peak time programmes can include entertainment shows, these are generally UK productions, such as lifestyle or drama. This article analyses the circumstances within which British viewers are able to see Buffy and Angel, and the implications of those circumstances for their experiences as audience members and fans. The article is in two sections. The first section outlines the British TV system in general, and the different missions and purposes of relevant TV channels. It also addresses the specifics of scheduling Buffy and Angel, including the role of censorship and editing of episodes. We highlight how the scheduling has been erratic, which both interrupts complex story arcs and frustrates fans expecting to see their favourite show at a regular time.
