BBC Studios is prepared to plough resource into its scripted and entertainment offerings as CEO Tom Fussell stresses the group’s “long-term mandate” amid global market contraction.
Fussell was joined by his new productions boss Zai Bennett at yesterday’s BBC Studios Showcase and the pair gave Deadline an insight into short, medium and long-term thinking.
For Bennett, who joined from Sky late last year, “maintaining our creative momentum” by investing in scripted and entertainment is the first priority.
