Why would Lisa Simpson be rushing out of jazz band the second the clock strikes. Lisa loves playing jazz, she loves her saxophone, and she’s very punctual and well-behaved. Every time I watch the intro it seems to betray her very character and it disorientates me

"The medium of television [allows] us to continue hearing one another. Even if we struggle to find common ground. Snatching relevant TV shows off of networks and streamers out of fear and cowardice is the antithesis of what companies should be doing during this terrifying period"

Really grateful for all the thoughtful engagement and sharing of my keynote from last week. I firmly believe that the only way out of the crisis for TV is via open conversation seeking a sustainable and equitable future for all. Every crisis is an opportunity if we make it one.
Here is my recent keynote on class in the UK TV industry given @LeedsUniMedia for @whatsonTVclass on Friday 19th - give it a read and let me know your thoughts. Many thanks to @lrjdmnr for inviting me to hang my metaphorical arse out in public... https://t.co/ihIfHBlLqU
