“The Crown” producer Left Bank Pictures has posted a 22% drop in revenue for the financial year ending March 2023.
Revenue decreased from £147.8 million ($187 million) to £114.6 million ($145 million) year on year, according to a financial report filed at U.K. business registrar Companies House on April 7. The producer said the dip was due to “the timings of the shows and syndication rights sold on the Crown series in the prior year.’
The report also showed that profit before taxation had increased by 65%, from £14 million to £23 million.
The financial period covered in the report runs from April 2022 to 2023, ending just before the Hollywood strikes upended the industry.
In the financial report, Left Bank notes 2023 “has been a challenging year for the industry –Bectu negotiations, WGA, DGA and SAG strikes, the fall in commissions by the streamers & U.K. broadcasters, licence fees decreasing due to a fall in advertising spend and the cost of living crisis,...

U.K. public service broadcaster ITV launched proprietary streamer Itvx almost exactly 12 months ago with a star-studded event in London featuring talent including Helen Bonham Carter (the lead in Itvx original “Nolly”) and “Without Sin” star Vicky McClure.
Signalling its commitment to the new platform (which replaced much-maligned catch-up service ITV Hub), ITV CEO Carolyn McCall also directed $1.6 billion into original content for Itvx in 2023 alone, a bold move which briefly hit the company’s share price. “I know the London stock market was quite surprised,” she told Variety earlier this year. “But we knew that we had to do that to make this step change. Because without that, we wouldn’t be a powerful U.K. streamer.”
Itvx is primarily a free-to-watch AVOD platform, echoing ITV’s position as a commercial Psb, although it does offer an ad-free premium tier which also offers paying subscribers access to BritBox U.

Vicky McClure, one of the leads in hit UK crime thriller Line of Duty, married her longtime fiancé on Friday, when the couple were serenaded by Our Dementia Choir, a group of singers with dementia brought together by McClure in 2019.
The choir were featured on a BBC documentary that year, fronted by McClure and which explored what music therapy could do for those living with dementia. Two years later, the organisation she founded became an official charity.
The popular actress revealed some pictures at the weekend, including shots with her Line of Duty co-stars Martin Compston and Adrian Dunbar, as well as the show’s creator Jed Mercurio.
Compston shared some pictures on social media, and wrote: “First dance with the dementia choir was just beautiful and says everything about the two of them sharing their moment with the dementia team… a few shandies were had afterwards.”

Documentary
Jim Wiseman’s Sky original documentary “Williams and Mansell: Red 5” is set for a debut on Sky Documentaries and Now on July 8. Featuring some of the biggest names in F1, it follows Nigel Mansell and the Williams Racing team’s rise to fame told through the eyes of his team, family and drivers including Jenson Button, Damon Hill and Karun Chandhok.
Mansell grew up in England in the 1960s, dreaming of becoming a professional race car driver, despite not having the financial means for it, while Frank Williams was realizing his own dream at the company he founded, Williams Grand Prix Engineering. The two joined forces, and after years of trying to win together, Mansell left to join Ferrari and then ultimately retired from racing after years of ups and downs, without ever winning the Formula One Drivers’ Championship. But seemingly overnight, he came out of retirement and re-joined Williams Racing.

One of British TV's biggest nights happened on Sunday, with the BAFTA TV Awards. And it was a good time to be anyone associated with Derry Girls, Bad Sisters or a particular reality TV show that revolves around betrayal.

Ben Whishaw won Leading Actor, Drama for This Is Going To Hurt., while The Traitors nabbed two awards, both in its category and for host Claudia Winkleman in Entertainment Performance.
The public, meanwhile, voted Paddington's meeting with the Queen as part of last year's Jubilee celebrations as Memorable Moment.

It was a big night for Irish talent at this year’s British version of the Emmys, the BAFTA TV Awards, which were doled out at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Hosted by Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett, two Irish series — – “Bad Sisters” and “Derry Girls” — won a pair of prizes as did the telefilm “I Am Ruth.”
“Derry Girls” won Best Scripted Comedy for its fourth and final season, which was a lovely parting gift for writer and creator Lisa McGee. The show beat out “Ghosts,” “Big Boys,” and “Am I Being Unreasonable?” although the latter did pick up the prize for Best Comedy Actor for 14-year-old Lenny Rush. He edged out Matt Berry (“What We Do In The Shadows”), Joseph Gilgun (“Brassic”), Stephen Merchant (“The Outlaws”), Jon Pointing (“Big Boys”), and Daniel Radcliffe (“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”).

Commissions
U.K. broadcaster Channel 4 has commissioned a documentary on Prince Andrew as part of its programming around the coronation of his brother, King Charles III. Andrew’s disastrous 2019 interview with then “Newsnight” anchor Emily Maitlis was widely mocked and condemned and proved to be the catalyst in Andrew’s banishment from public life. In the new two-part documentary “Andrew – The Problem Prince” (working title) from Channel 4 and A&e, Maitlis speaks in detail about the interview. The documentary uses archive footage, interviews with BBC producer Sam McAlister and exclusive access to palace insiders, to uncover the inside story of the interview and unravel the scandal that led to his fall from grace.
Among Channel 4’s other coronation programming, “Frankie Boyle’s Farewell to the Monarchy” airs in the build up to the event and will provide the comedian’s perspective on the history of the royal family and its modern-day goings on.

March represented Itvx’s best streaming month, with 282 million streams, up 100 million year-on-year. Itx offers dramas such as The Twelve, Without Sin and A Spy Among Friends. From its archive content, early 2000s drama Footballers’ Wives is the top performing show, with One Tree Hill the top U.S. boxset. Love Island and Unforgotten are also singled out as drivers.

Exclusive: The headline-grabbing abduction of British model Chloe Ayling is to be dramatized for the BBC by Killing Eve writer Georgia Lester.
The BBC’s youth channel BBC3 has greenlit the six-part true-crime series, which will be produced by BBC Studios. Casting is underway ahead of production beginning later this year.
Ayling is working with BBC Studios to tell her story after she was abducted in Italy in 2017, having traveled to Milan for a photo shoot. She was freed unharmed after six days.
The series, working titled Kidnapped, will follow her ordeal from the kidnap to her resilience in captivity, and the subsequent court case that put her captors in jail.
Ayling’s experience dominated the headlines in the UK and Ayling was accused of staging the abduction to raise her profile, despite the conviction of her assailants.

“If you want to make a TV drama about opium smokers, sadomasochists and imperial slavery in the 19th century, then write your own,” whines The Daily Mail‘s Peter Hitchens about Steven Knight’s new Great Expectations adaptation, presumably forgetting that in 2017, Knight did exactly that in 8-part Gothic Regency thriller Taboo.
Knight’s previous series starring Tom Hardy, bleeds into his take on Charles Dickens’ class and snobbery novel, which loses the comedy and grimes up the characters with the addition of adult content. Great Expectations returns to Knight’s constant theme of social mobility, moving away from ones roots, and the upper classes being mad, evil bastards, as explored in six series of Peaky Blinders.
Here’s the impressive cast amassed for this six-part drama.

Bafta representatives have defended the representation in its Television Awards nominations.
The full list was announced on Wednesday 22 March, prompting complaints that This Is Going to Hurt’s Ambika Mod was absent from the Leading Actress category, where all nominated stars this year are white.
The BBC medical drama has been nominated in six categories for this year’s awards, with Ben Whishaw securing a Leading Actor nod for his role as former junior doctor Adam Kay, whose book the show is based on.
The Independent understands that Mod was not entered into the category for nomination by the BBC.

BAFTA has celebrated the number of older white women nominated for best actress at its Television Awards amid a steep decline in ethnic diversity in performance shortlists.
All six nominees in the Leading Actress category are white and have been nominated for BAFTAs across film and TV multiple times in the past.
Asked if BAFTA had hoped for a different outcome, CEO Jane Millichip said: “There is representation in that category in the fact that if you look at the age of the actresses and the roles written for them, it is extraordinary. This is something that we’ve discussed for a long time in the television and film world: Are the roles written for women over the age of 40? That is a really impressive result.”
BAFTA later clarified that Millichip was referring to “representation” for older women as a separate issue from diversity, which it considers to relate to...

This is something that we’ve discussed for a long time in the television and film world: Are the roles written for women over the age of 40? That is a really impressive result.”
BAFTA later clarified that Millichip was referring to “representation” for older women as a separate issue from diversity, which it considers to relate to...

Major Spoilers! This is for viewers who have already streamed all episodes of Without Sin on Itvx
Full of twists, turns, and Vicky McClure’s seemingly endless wardrobe of excellent knitwear, Itvx’s exclusive new drama Without Sin is a triumph. From its first moments, this thriller left us with questions, and they only multiplied as the four episodes unfolded, delving into the death of teenager Maisie Tomlinson as her grieving mother Stella (Line of Duty’s Vicky McClure) forms a relationship with the man she believes to be her daughter’s killer.
These questions include: what happened the night Maisie died? Was Charles Stone guilty or was he framed? And will Stella ever take that knitted beanie off or is it superglued to her head?
Jury’s still out on the beanie but we did get answers to the rest of our questions:

“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” Thus spoke Jesus on the Mount of Olives, when confronted by a woman charged with adultery. We are all sinners, he proclaimed, our judgement skewed. This is also the position seemingly held by Frances Poletti, creator of twisty new ITV four-parter Without Sin. There’s some Biblical-level forgiveness required in this drama about the fallout from a teenage girl’s murder.
Stella (Vicky McClure), a late-night taxi driver tormented by an all-consuming grief, haunts the streets of Nottingham. Her daughter Maisy was murdered three years ago in their family home. Husband Paul (Perry Fitzpatrick) has moved on with another woman, but Stella is still struggling. Her attempts at normality – cheesy dancing to Dexys Midnight Runners, eating toast at a late-night café, going out for a pint – leave her unmoved. But when the man convicted of Maisy’s murder – Charles Stone...

For the first time since 2019 BC (Before Covid), Christmas is starting to look like Christmas again. Employees will humiliate themselves at festive work parties. Families will guiltlessly gather around the dinner table. For a few years now, these traditions have been out of reach, but the thing that’s been a constant, and is back again this year, is Christmas TV. Whether it’s worth watching, though, is less of a sure thing.
As a festive gift from us to you, we’ve watched a selection of some of the biggest shows that are on the way, so we can help you choose what to prioritise between glasses of sherry and naps on the couch.

For the past two Mays, Hollywood’s studio lots have remained quiet during the week they should be buzzing with the world’s top international acquisitions execs, excitedly chomping down on In-n-Out burgers and squeezing into grand theater halls at the annual LA Screenings.
Normal service will be resumed next week, as in-person screenings return for the first time since 2019 following the (seeming) end of the worst of the Covid pandemic. Execs are closing down their Zoom apps and instead eyeing up lunches in the sun and the programs that have most caught their eye during pilot season. As one UK buyer says: “It’s not quite as fun chatting over a cheese sandwich at home than fine dining in Los Angeles.”
But it’s hardly a secret that the LA Screenings aren’t exactly what they once were to the international TV community, with many shows taken off the...
