have renewed a partnership that will see a further £3M pumped into the Scottish TV industry over the next three years.
The Memorandum of Understanding will support the production of TV drama, entertainment, scripted comedy, documentary and factual formats on the BBC’s network television services from Scotland, while developing the skills and talent required to produce these shows. The agreement identifies how Screen Scotland and the BBC will continue to work together strategically to hit the BBC’s commitment to invest 8% of its programming spend in the nation, having missed this target in last year’s pandemic-impacted 12 months.
The move is “further evidence of the BBC’s desire to invest and produce more programmes across all parts of the UK,” according to Director General Tim Davie.
