Watch Clive Edwards discuss his development priorities for Current Affairs & Investigations on BBC Three

Commissioner: Clive Edwards

Overview

Current Affairs on BBC Three shows how the genre can attract and engage younger audiences.

On BBC Three we are tightly aligned to the interests, cares and concerns of the Channel's main audience: 16–34 year olds.

The subjects tend to cluster more around issues personal to this audience - body image, lifestyle choices, becoming an adult - than they might around the more traditional subjects like Westminster and other national institutions. 

Commissioning Opportunities

  • Flexible on shape - 1x60' or shorter, 2-3x60' series

Where are the opportunities available? 

There are opportunities in the Wocc in 13/14 and 14/15.  Please note that a number of hours have a Regional quota attached.

How should I submit my ideas and who should I pitch to?

All proposals should be submitted via the e-commissioning system to the relevant genre controller or commissioner. Take a look at the Who's Who for the latest current affairs  commissioning team contacts
