Talking TV #82: Mipcom 2016 and Black Mirror

Broadcast: Talking TV

This week Talking TV was in the South of France at the Mipcom market in Cannes to find out about the latest internationally telly trends. Joining Peter White at Maple Street Studios is Fremantle Media’s executive vice president of global scripted and factual content Georgia Brown and Red Arrow’s vice president of format acquisitions Harry Gamsu. We discover which high-end global dramas were most discussed and which non-scripted formats had the potential to breakout. We heard from Shonda Rhimes, the creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, who was named Mipcom personality of the year and told Broadcast about her ambitions to create shows outside of the US. Plus: we speak to Charlie Brooker and his producing partner Annabel Jones about the latest series of Black Mirror.
