‘Sherwood’ Writer James Graham Wanted to ‘Protect’ Show’s ‘Twists and Turns’ by Dropping Episodes Weekly Instead of All at Once


'Sherwood' writer James Graham was giving the annual McTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival, where he talked about the industry and class.

Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday, where Graham was delivering the annual McTaggart lecture, he revealed that the BBC’s chief content officer Charlotte Moore had included him in the conversation about how the series should be made available to viewers. Graham called on both the industry and the new Labour government to improve the situation, saying what is needed is “a proper, industry-wide standard and plan” including monitoring class diversity on productions and awards. The Impact Unit will be led by The TV Foundation’s Gemma Bradshaw and amongst the initiatives it will implement are creating a pan-sector working group, introducing a social mobility bursary for the festival and contribute to developing measurements and monitoring.
