What do you want the UK Government to do to support the documentary industry? With the election looming, this is your chance to put key recommendations in front of the new government. In this very special Question Time, an impressive line-up of documentary producers and leading industry figures debate the best suggestions: Production tax breaks? Increased broadcaster output requirements? Top slicing? Incentives for green production? More regional funds? Subsidies? ...What legislation and new codes of practice could the government implement to stimulate the sector? This lively and thought-provoking session offers you the chance to vote and decide which recommendations are sent to the major political parties. Vote and make a difference.
