The producers behind Killing Eve, Vigil and All Her Fault will join ITV’s Polly Hill and 5’s Seb Cardwell for a high-calibre session on the drama sector at the Broadcast Summit.

Sally Woodward Gentle (Sid Gentle), Simon Heath (World Productions) and Nigel Marchant (Carnival Films) will share the stage with the two PSB drama bosses to discuss the creative and commercial trends shaping the genre.

Production inflation, the appetite for new writing talent, the battle for IP and the buying priorities for the two broadcasters will be among the topics discussed. The session is sponsored by OMA Studio Group.

The panel is part of a wider line up of sessions at the Broadcast Summit on 15 April, which has more than 40 major industry speakers. The event takes place at 1 Wimpole St, W1, and comprises two streams of content. For a list of speakers and the programme in full, please click here.
