Talking TV #85: MPs: Behind Closed Doors and Bear Hunt

Channel 5 factual commissioner Guy Davies, Sundog Pictures creative director and executive producer Dov Freedman explain how they persuaded MPs Nick Clegg, Naz Shah and Jacob Rees-Mogg to open their constituency doors on this week’s Talking TV. The trio discuss how the one-off documentary, which was narrated by John Prescott and associate produced by former Broadcast reporter Balihar Khalsa, fits into Channel 5’s new programming strategy. Also, we track down Michael Rosen, author of revered kids book We’re Going On A Bear Hunt. The writer explains how his book went from the page to becoming an animated Christmas special for Channel 4.
