Soho on the run
Article Abstract:
Independent post-production facilities in the Soho area of London, England, fear that their sector will be negatively affected by the incorporation of part of BBC Resources. This move will create the largest and possibly the most well-equipped facilities group working as a limited company in the UK. BBC Resources Chief Executive Rod Lynch does not feel that independent post-production facilities have any reason to be alarmed, pointing out that the new incorporated operation will probably be reducing in size in post-production terms.

Stuck in a rut
Article Abstract:
The BBC and ITV still largely deal with current affairs in-house, and in this way avoid innovation and taking risks. It is now time to move away from this approach, with current affairs programme-makers being encouraged to look at other genres and learn from them. Current affairs programming should be more innovative, along the lines of Channel 4's 'Citizen's Arrest,' which links drama with interesting characters. Current affairs should not be regarded as inferior to drama, feature films and documentary.

Winners take a vow
Article Abstract:
Granada undertook extensive research when planning how to revamp its game show 'The Shane Richie Experience.' It found that the overall format was generally popular with viewers, but that certain elements were not. It was decided to involve contestants' families and friends in the game, as well as to introduce some more formal elements. The show has been renamed 'Love Me Do,' responding to comments from some viewers that it did not seem to take marriage seriously enough.
