The shorts are produced by Milk & Honey Productions. The company’s managing director, and panelist, Lucy Pilkington, said: “For me, the only point in making these films is if they make the audience, which, let’s face it, is 93% white, sit up and look why we are so angry.

Talking about next steps, Horan said that U.K. public service broadcasters need to commission differently and have leadership at all levels who look and sound different, and tell stories that reflect the country’s diversity. Earlier on Tuesday, Channel 4 chief executive Alex Mahon appeared before a House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee to provide evidence on an inquiry into the future of public service broadcasting in the U.K. Mahon revealed that during the lockdown period audiences for news and factual programming were up 40%, with young audiences aged 16-34 rising 75%. Black and Minority Asian audiences were up by nearly 30%, Mahon said.
