Drilling into Diamond

Last month’s Diamond Fourth Cut diversity report showed disappointing falls and plateaus in representation of under-represented talent, with particular shortfalls in off-screen representation from the BAME and disabled communities.  To unpick the results and provide some solutions, the Newswrap is delighted to welcome diversity campaigners Marcus Ryder, Caroline O’Neill and Andrew Roach to the pod this week.  The trio discuss where the broadcasters and indies are going wrong, react to the very latest diversity news and touch on issues of intersectionality.  Plus, we have a bit of a disagreement on everybody’s favourite ‘What We’ve Been Watchin’’ segment!  Join us this week to get the experts view on one of the biggest issues impacting the UK TV sector today.
