James Graham To Ask “Why Television Has A Problem With The Working Classes” As He Lands The 2024 Edinburgh TV Festival MacTaggart Address


James Graham will deliver the Edinburgh TV Festival MacTaggart Address 2024; his credits include 'Dear England', 'Sherwood' & 'Brexit: The Uncivil War'

Graham, whose credits include Sherwood, Dear England, Brexit: The Uncivil War and Quiz, will deliver the 49th address in two months time, an agenda-setting speech that has been helmed down the years by the likes of Michaela Coel, Kevin Spacey and three Murdochs. Across a 20-year career, Graham’s oeuvre has repeatedly addressed these topics and recent works include a theater version of Alan Bleasdale’s Boys from the Blackstuff and political thriller series The Way with Michael Sheen and Adam Curtis. Edinburgh Creative Director Rowan Woods and Advisory Chair Harjeet Chhokar called Graham a “fearless contemporary chronicler of British history, institutions and power structures.”
