Consultation Title: BBC Trust Service Review: BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Consultation title: BBC Trust service review: BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four To: [email protected] Name of respondent: Carol Comley, Head of Strategic Development Representing (self or organisation/s: British Film Institute 1 BFI response to BBC Trust Service Review: BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four February 2014 2 Executive summary 1. The BFI believes that the four BBC television channels covered by this Review of are fulfilling the terms of their Service Licences effectively. 2. The range of film and drama shown provides a wide spectrum of different genres for audiences, and also demonstrates that the different channels are committed to innovation. 3. However, we believe that the BBC could do still more to increase the variety of recent British and specialised films which it screens, especially on BBC One and BBC Two. 4. The format of the film programme on BBC One, currently Film 2014, could be refreshed as it has remained broadly the same for many years. 5. In short, the BBC has more powerful access to audiences than any other broadcaster; an increased commitment to British film, both through screening films and refreshing their film programmes would be invaluable for both audiences and the UK’s creative industries. 6. BBC Four’s commitment to foreign-language dramas such as Borgen and The Bridge, is particularly welcome. 7. Across the four channels, we believe that the BBC is not delivering sufficiently in representing diversity as regards both ethnicity and disability. 8. With the Licence Fee declining in real terms, the main challenge for the television services is a financial one. We would like the BBC’s four main television channels to maintain their commitment to their Service Licences as currently formulated. This is likely to maintain seeking to cut overheads in other BBC areas of activity. 9. As the way in which people watch television channels continues to change, the BBC should continue to ensure that all four channels are available for audiences on the widest possible range of devices. The Trust should examine the extent to which the Service Licences are fit for purpose in the light of such change. About the BFI 1. In 2011 the BFI became the lead organisation for film in the UK. It is now a Government arm’s-length body and distributor of Lottery funds for film. 2. Our mission is to ensure that film is central to our cultural life, in particular by supporting and nurturing the next 3 generation of filmmakers and audiences. The BFI serves a public role which covers the cultural, creative and economic aspects of film in the UK. 3. It delivers this role: As the UK-wide organisation for film, a charity core funded by Government By providing Lottery and Government funds for film across the UK By working with partners to advance the position of film in the UK 4. In October 2012, the BFI published ‘Film Forever, Supporting UK Film 2012-2017’, which set out its strategy for the next five years, following an extensive industry consultation. 1 It described the activities underpinning the BFI’s three strategic priorities: Expanding education and learning opportunities and boosting audience choice across the UK Supporting the future success of British film Unlocking film heritage for everyone in the UK to enjoy. 5. To that end, the BFI helps ensure that public policy supports film and, in particular, British film. 6. Founded in 1933, the BFI is a registered charity governed by Royal Charter. The BFI Board of Governors is chaired by Greg Dyke. 7. We are seeking to build a strong, long-term strategic partnership between the BFI and the BBC as we clearly have complementary aims around both film and television. We are now in active discussions with the BBC to put in place such a partnership which would deliver significant value to the public who fund both organisations and we hope that this will include benefits for viewers of the four BBC channels which are the subject of this Review. http://www.bfi.org.uk/about-bfi/policy-strategy/film-forever 4 Responses to the two consultation questions: Service Licences 1. How well are BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four performing against the terms of their Services Licences? What are your views on the quality of the offer across the four services? What are your views on the range of programmes shown by the four services across the genres (factual including arts and music, drama, entertainment, comedy and sport)? What type of programmes, if anything, make the BBC television services stand out from commercial channels? Are the services making an effective contribution to delivering the BBC’s six public purposes? What are your views on whether the services deliver good value for money? General Context including for film For the BFI, the BBC’s four television channels, informed by its current public purposes, play a vital role in serving audiences, including for film, and the creative economy in a number of different areas. They make an essential contribution to the diversity of film and moving images which are available to the public across the UK and in reflecting life in the Nations and Regions of the UK as required by the BBC’s public purposes. As lead body for film, the BFI recognises that, in particular, the £11m per annum that the BBC invests in the development and production of new British films helps ensure that a varied diet of theatrical films is available to audiences across all its four principal channels. The BBC plays a vital role as an investor in the development and production of British independent films with a budget of £11m per annum. During the current Charter period, the BFI (and before that, the UK Film Council the previous Lottery distributor for film), has co-invested in a wide range of feature films with BBC Films including Fish Tank, Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa and Philomena.2 Without such investment by the BBC, audiences for the BBC’s four channels would suffer from a significant reduction in the range of British films on offer. We therefore want to see a strong and well-funded BBC Films as a key part of the BBC throughout the next Charter period. High-end drama for 5 television, which increasingly shares many of the production values of film, is also an important means of providing quality and diversity for audiences. We hope that the BBC will maintain and strengthen its investment in this genre and we would also like to see more choice as regards films for children beyond the holiday blockbusters. The BBC are in a unique position to help the growth of the creative industries, a key area of growth for UK plc, by helping to grow indigenous audiences that are more adventurous in their viewing habits, and more ready to take a risk and develop their taste. The BBC has more powerful access to audiences than any other broadcaster. In this context an increased commitment to British film, both through screening films and refreshing their film programmes would be invaluable. The BFI and BBC jointly invest in many British films annually and we could increase their chances of commercial success through a greater commitment to acquisition and through better, more exciting coverage of our own indigenous film industry. In addition, BBC One and BBC Two remain important outlets for showing popular British films and specialised films from all eras -- ranging from Harry Potter, to Ealing comedies to early Hitchcock. However, the BFI believes that the number of UK films broadcast by BBC1 and BBC2 could be increased to provide even more choice for audiences as a proportion of the total films shown. The following chart shows that in 2012, the figure for BBC1 was just 17% and for BBC2 29%. These figures suggest that these two channels have a unique opportunity to strengthen the BBC’s public purpose to stimulate creativity and cultural excellence in respect of film. Channel Number of Number of UK Number of Recent UK films UK films films recent UK films as broadcast broadcast as % of films %of total total broadcast* films broadcast BBC One 231 39 17 22 10 BBC Two 463 134 29 44 10 * A recent film is one which has been theatrically released, or intended for theatrical release, in the UK since 2004 6 The time at which films are shown is also important. As the following table demonstrates the volume of film shown in peak time has been in decline over the last decade: Film as a percentage of peak time programming hours by channel, 2002-2012 25 20 15 10 BBC One BBC Two 5 0 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 BBC One 7 9 8 8 20 13 19 19 4 2 2 BBC Two 5 4 6 3 10 6 7 5 3 4 4 Source: BFI statistical yearbook BBC1 The core remit for BBC1 ‘‘ is to be the BBC’s most popular mixed-genre television service across the UK, offering a wide range of high quality programmes. It should be the BBC’s primary outlet for major UK and international events and it should reflect the whole of the UK in its output. A very high proportion of its programmes should be original productions.’’ We also note that the Service Licence stipulates, among other things, that ‘‘ BBC One programmes should exhibit some or all of the following characteristics: high quality, original, challenging, innovative and engaging, and it should nurture UK talent.’’ While the BFI believes that in general BBC 1 fulfils this remit well, we think that the programme devoted to film, currently entitled Film 2014, could be refreshed.

  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

  • Summary of Hearing with the British Film Institute Held on 12 June 2013
    CINEWORLD/CITY SCREEN MERGER INQUIRY Summary of hearing with the British Film Institute held on 12 June 2013 Background 1. The British Film Institute (BFI) was the appointed lead agency for film in the UK, which gave it a strategic remit for film production. Its functions included the Lottery Film Fund, which distributed lottery money for film development, film production and the distribution of specialized film in the UK; an archive team, which looked after and restored works; an education team; and a publishing function for magazine and DVD publication. 2. The BFI had an exhibition department, which was based at the BFI Southbank and also housed the London Film Festival and the Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. BFI Southbank was a commercially-operated cinema in London and the site also housed the Mediatheque, a publicly available archive of television and media material and the Reuben library of books and manuscripts related to film and television. It owned the IMAX cinema on the Southbank, the running of which was contracted to the Odeon. 3. The BFI had a distribution arm, distributing works restored by the BFI as well as third- party films. These tended to be specialized, rather than commercial films. The BFI was not a competitive acquirer of rights to new works. 4. As a charity, the BFI also had a fundraising team. BFI grants 5. The BFI would shortly be launching a fund called The Audience Network to allow community venues to show a broad range of films to their local audience. Through the fund, it would make available small grants for equipment to venues that were not cinemas, for example village halls, town halls and local schools that ran film societies or film clubs.

Executive summary The BFI welcomes the opportunity to respond to this consultation, in particular, we wish to stress the following points: • The BFI endorses important revisions to AVMS, which will help to ensure that regulation is appropriate to the needs of industry and audience at a time of very significant change in the sector. In particular, the objective of creating a level playing field between video sharing services, on-demand services and linear AV services is very welcome and entirely justified, especially given rapidly changing consumer behaviour, new service providers and business models.

  • Researching Digital on Screen Graphics Executive Sum M Ary
    Researching Digital On Screen Graphics Executive Sum m ary Background In Spring 2010, the BBC commissioned independent market research company, Ipsos MediaCT to conduct research into what the general public, across the UK thought of Digital On Screen Graphics (DOGs) – the channel logos that are often in the corner of the TV screen. The research was conducted between 5th and 11th March, with a representative sample of 1,031 adults aged 15+. The research was conducted by interviewers in-home, using the Ipsos MORI Omnibus. The key findings from the research can be found below. Key Findings Do viewers notice DOGs? As one of our first questions we split our sample into random halves and showed both halves a typical image that they would see on TV. One was a very busy image, with a DOG present in the top left corner, the other image had much less going on, again with the DOG in the top left corner. We asked respondents what the first thing they noticed was, and then we asked what they second thing they noticed was. It was clear from the results that the DOGs did not tend to stand out on screen, with only 12% of those presented with the ‘less busy’ screen picking out the DOG (and even fewer, 7%, amongst those who saw the busy screen). Even when we had pointed out DOGs and talked to respondents specifically about them, 59% agreed that they ‘tend not to notice the logos’, with females and viewers over 55, the least likely to notice them according to our survey.
