In this round we aim to do most of our commissioning for drama and factual slots for 2013-14 (although issues of topicality will apply to some) and half of our commissioning for comedy and entertainment.
There will be a small round in autumn 2012 to complete commissioning for comedy and entertainment and any remaining factual business.
More details about the round and the commissioning briefs will be announced soon.
