Duty of care special

Ofcom’s new duty of care regulations came into force this month, almost exactly two years after the Jeremy Kyle Show was axed following the death of a contestant a week after filming an episode.

In this week’s duty of care special, senior reporter Max Goldbart is joined by The Garden founder Magnus Temple, reality supremo Katy Manley from Big Brother producer Initial and BBC Studios Documentary Unit’s Kirsty Cunningham.

The group dissect what duty of care looks like for their respective genres and suggest that the pandemic has thrown up challenges for programme-makers as well as contributors.

Later on, Max asks ’What We’ve Been Watchin’’, leading to a few nods to a certain critically-acclaimed French comedy-drama.

This week's episode is sponsored by Creative Cities Convention. Visit www.creativecitiesconvention.com for more information and to buy a ticket.
