Mr Bates vs The Post Office: How Drama Can Change Society

Since its release in January 2024, Mr Bates vs The Post Office has already gained a viewership of over ten million and counting. But the ITV drama has done much more than just prove a ratings success; its retelling of the Post Office Horizon Scandal has stirred up so much public indignation that it's accelerated the cogs of justice for the wrongly accused postal staff. Now, the creators of this remarkable series will pull back the curtain on how they brought this decades-long saga to screen, and reveal how drama can have the power to make lasting change in society. Panel Patrick Spence - Executive Producer, AC Chapter One Natasha Bondy - Executive Producer, Little Gem James Strong - Director Chris Clough - Producer Monica Dolan - Actor Polly Hill - Head of Drama, ITV Event Details Date: Tuesday 12 March Location: Cavendish Conference Centre, London, W1G 9DT Time: 6.00pm for 6.30pm start Booking Details Tickets for RTS members are free but must be booked in advance (please input your membership number when booking).

RTS Technology Centre - Challenges of Live Music for Television

Join us for an afternoon & evening of lively discussion about the challenges of delivering live music for television at the University of Surrey, 4th March 2024. From Glastonbury to Glyndebourne putting live music on television is challenging. TV doesn’t lend itself naturally to music events – it always looks great but getting the audio right, for everyone, can be very hard work. Microphones get in the way of the cameras or lights. Cables can be a mess and get in the way of camera operators and artists. Live audiences are wonderful on camera and the director usually always wants more cheering, clapping and buzz from the audience while the audio team are tearing their hair out to manage the sound levels, amplification for the audience, foldback for the musicians, clean feeds for external use and, of course, an amazing sound for us all to see on television. Surrey University is home to the famous Tonmeister audio recording degree course and has, over the years, produced some of the world’s top Emmy & Oscar winning recording engineers in all areas of the audio world. Our speakers are bringing their gear in the form of not one, but two Outside Broadcast audio recording units which will be available for guests to experience and learn how live music for television is made real. About the event:  17:00 – 19:00  Experience the dedicated audio outside broadcast trucks: Mixbus OB truck – Conrad Fletcher, SounDesign Limited. Floating Earth OB truck – Mike Hatch, Floating Earth Limited. 19:00 – 19:30  Refreshments will be available immediately prior to the event at 19:30 Venue TBA 19:30 – 20:30  Meet live sound engineers : Chaired by Rupert Flindt, lecturer at University of Surrey Mike Felton (Later with Jools, Benjamin Britten at Snape Maltings) Tudor Davies (Top of the Pops, Glastonbury for the BBC, TFI Friday, Later with Jools) Conrad Fletcher (Eurovision Song Contest Liverpool, The Choir, CHIC & Nile Rogers) Mike Hatch (Brit Awards, Young Musician of the Year, Simple Minds, BBC Proms in the Park).
