RTS Video: Future of Entertainment

At the RTS Cambridge Convention, Pointless host Richard Osman led a panel about the future of entertainment with commissioners from Sky, ITV and the BBC.

Osman presents a lighthearted look at the future of entertainment. A panel of leading commissioners offer their thoughts on how to have a linear hit in a digital age. What are the next big trends? Can entertainment break out of Saturday nights? The session also features a very special all-star League of Their Own task with a number of familiar faces. On the panel are Philip Edgar-Jones, the director of Sky Arts and head of entertainment at Sky; Siobhan Greene, the head of entertainment at ITV; and Kate Phillips, the controller of entertainment commissioning at the BBC.

This footage was created by the Royal Television Society. It was recorded at the RTS Cambridge Convention—the U.K.’s preeminent high-level gathering of broadcasting executives—which took place from September 13 to 15.
