AHTV, Barbican

Jamie was awarded a small AHRC bursary to attend AHTV, jointly hosted by the TV Foundation and the AHRC, which took place on February 5th, 2020 at the Barbican Centre, London. Here, Jamie was in the audience for a number of panels that touched upon how scholars and the TV industry can work together to create specialist factual television. Jamie also had a ‘speed meeting’ with Olivia Grigoriou, a Development Executive for the production company Fremantle, where the nature of ‘selling’ a television concept was discussed in more detail.
