The British TV Industry Is In Such Crisis, 'Wolf Hall' Director Says, That ITV and BBC Couldn't Afford 'Adolescence' - IMDb
From “Baby Reindeer” to “Adolescence,” Netflix has staked a claim when it comes to sourcing prestige British TV with global appeal and “Wolf Hall” director Peter Kosminsky believes this to be a huge problem. Speaking during a recent interview with BBC Two’s Newsnight, the 45-year industry veteran detailed what he described as an “existential crisis” facing Britain’s public broadcasting.
Kosminsky explained that American streaming companies have made costs so high that BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5 “can’t afford to make dramas like ‘Wolf Hall’ anymore.” Instead, all the money that should be distributed on British programming is going to shows that have more global appeal, “Adolescence” being one example.
“I think the BBC or ITV would wish to make ‘Adolescence,’ but let’s be absolutely clear,” Kosminsky said, “there is no way they could make it at the moment.”
