BBC Three To Commission Current Affairs Docs

Fiona Campbell, BBC iPlayer and BBC Three Controller, told a crowd this morning at the Edinburgh TV Festival that she plans to commission five current affairs documentaries from indie production companies as part of a new young adult commissioning scheme. Campbell invited indies to submit pitches for docs, which will sit on both YouTube and iPlayer. “We are looking for a maximum of five stand-out films from five different Indies that uncover arresting characters, voices or perspectives that will resonate amongst 16-34s in the UK,” Campbell said. “We want Indies to come to us with ideas that explore a riveting world, tell a gripping story, or show confronting perspectives that reflect issues facing young Brits today.”
