Recommendation 1

The broadcasting landscape in Scotland is diverse and vibrant, with viewers able to choose from an increasingly wide range of content, much of which is made specifically for viewers in Scotland. Many domestically successful and internationally renowned TV shows continue to be filmed in Scotland and some are produced there in their entirety. While there are challenges around skills shortages, we are encouraged by public service broadcasters’ and streaming services’ commitments to develop the Scottish screen industry and lay the foundations for future production activity there.
