It's a positive step and the CMSC has clearly listened to the industry, but there is still a lot of work to do. SEIS/EIS for single project funding are another tool that government could easily unlock, and we still need to find ways to make private investment in film worthwhile.

And the fund should not be administered by the BFI. The BFI are very good at what they do but now is the time to create a fund that is more commercially focused and doesn't rely on a handful of tastemakers to decide what is worthy of funding.

Secondly, this can't only apply to HETV or culturally relevant TV. Indie film and Children's TV also need to get a fair slice of this pie. Streamers have shifted the business models for both, it's only right that a levy recognises this.

Firstly, we need the government to listen to this report and agree that a levy is indeed needed. With the US making noises about Non-Tariff Barriers, this becomes more complicated as the wider picture is something government will be looking at.

It's getting a bit much. In shows like The Walking Dead where they'd have like 20 episodes per season, it made sense to step out of the main plot every once in a while. I don't think it works on shows where you only have 8-10 episodes.

Probably that there’s going to be a lot of recalibration and era of Peak TV is truly over. Appears to be political will to help address issues.
