Brutal hours, tyrants and chest pains: a freelance producer on the reality of British TV Thanks to @guardian for continuing to cover this story. TV industry needs a new approach to welfare and duty of care for freelancers

Saddened to learn that Dr Sue Johnson passed away a few weeks ago having only just discovered her trailblazing research. Her words from this insightful podcast are still ringing in my ears- Relationship Science should be national curriculum as she wished

A trailblazing psychotherapist, renowned author, and creator of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dr. Johnson's work transformed countless lives and relationships. Read more about her legacy in the NYT. https://t.co/ndFAr6CLYy

Haven’t posted in a while but this article by @MarinaHyde about the value of compliance teams from public service broadcasters like the BBC is spot on. Recommended reading for anyone enjoying #BabyReindeer

The movement we’ve seen on the Post Office Horizon scandal over the past few days shows the power that television still holds to effect change. To quote the wise words of @jackthorne, it’s “an empathy box in the corner of the room.”

The Post Office scandal has been catapulted up the political agenda, our political editor writes.

In 2022 I visited Cuba for the first time. I was struck by the welcoming and reflective nature of many Cubans I met but I was not prepared for the severity of the current economic crisis. An historic exodus is under way and I wanted to help tell this story
bbc.co.uk
The story of three Cubans who took extraordinary risks to reach the US.

Can’t recommend this film highly enough. A big shout out to @gcam_docs for her utterly compelling, funny and emotive feature doc debut. A life-affirming watch about women fighting for recognition in a sport they love @sheffdocfest
Right to Fight premieres on Sat 17th June @sheffdocfest 🥊 This doc on the US pioneers of women’s boxing is the result of lots of hard graft from a talented team, inc @ttwardle, Cassie Thornton, Anna Gordon, @AlecRossiter, Otto Burnham & many more. Come see it if you’re in town!
