Reporting effects of climate change

2024-10-23 18:59:11 UTC

Did you find there was any push back on reporting the effects of climate change on some of the earlier series you have worked on? If so how did you and your colleagues feel about this?

2024-10-23 19:14:48 UTC

I found the way the shots were filmed really poignant- just wondering how effective the psychology of it was; if that has been looked at?

2024-10-23 19:14:48 UTC

How much do you interfere with the animal behaviour when filming? For example when an animal is trying to escape from a predator?

2024-10-23 19:17:54 UTC

Liz, hearing many stories like yours from the industry, many have obtained a PhD. For someone who will be leaving with a masters from Bristol, do you recommend specialising further, or getting into the industry early to gain experience?

Miranda, What are the essential attributes and skills to be a presenter?

2024-10-23 19:33:34 UTC

If someone is interested in media focusing on AI and tech growth would bbc be open to such documentaries ? And also how do u approach them with the idea

Unless an opportunity is presented, what can a student with a scientific background do to either break into or learn more about presenting?

Connection to Nature

2024-10-23 19:45:51 UTC

Tonight both of you have touched on the ocean and how important it has been shaping your careers. Many people are not connected to the ocean, especially from lower income backgrounds, how as producers do you make the audience feel connected to the ocean. As you both have

where does one find opportunities to work with nature in & around Bristol? (Websites, charities, etc)

2024-10-23 19:59:16 UTC

How do you think the way the BBC educates the public about Climate Change will change in the future?

2024-10-23 20:01:54 UTC

Especially with the decision not to air the final episode of Wild Isles or the potential climate anxiety/denial of the audience.

2024-10-23 20:02:50 UTC

Which natural history programs would you recommend for young children? Some hunting scenes are a bit too much for young eyes.

2024-10-23 20:09:02 UTC
