Made Outside of London programme titles register 2013 Publication date: 22th October 2014 1 Background 1.1 Section 286 of the Communications Act 2003 requires that Channels 3 and 5 each produce a suitable proportion, range and value of programmes outside of the M25. Channel 4 faces a similar obligation under Section 288. 1.2 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 2013. 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. 1.3 Further information from Ofcom on how it monitors regional production can be found here. 1.4 The three criteria under which a programme can qualify as MOL are: 1.4.1 The production company must have a substantive business and production base in the UK outside the M25. 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 below; 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 below; 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. Freelancers without a usual place of employment outside the M25 will nonetheless count for this purpose if they live outside the M25 – ‘Crew’ in the data set out in this register. 1.5 To qualify a series must meet at least two of these three criteria. 1.6 There are seven main territories to which a MOL programme can be allocated: 1.6.1 Scotland; or 1.6.2 Wales; or 1.6.3 Northern Ireland; or 1.6.4 South of England (comprising the South-West and South-East England); 1.6.5 Midlands/East of England (West Midlands, East Midlands and East of England); 1.6.6 North of England (Yorkshire and Humber, North-West and North-East England). 1.6.7 In 2011 a seventh territory, Other, was introduced for regional productions from London producers which did not meet both 70% of spend and 50% of talent in any one particular Macro Region. See http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/guidance/programme- guidance/reg_prod/ on the Ofcom website for further details. 1.7 In 2013, all the PSBs met both their value- and volume-based MOL quotas, as illustrated in Figure 1.

Please note, this list does not relate to the independent production quota, it is published to provide further information on the provenance of the programme only. Those programmes where no company is listed were produced in- house by the broadcaster.
