Scottish television industry all set for a revival
November, 8
The Scottish television industry is all set for a revival; this glossy nation has witnessed a sudden fall in the television production in recent years. With many famous prime-time dramas like Dr Who and Life on mars doing great, the time has come for this industry to come up with such new drama series to boost the television industry on the north of the border. Commenting in this regard the Chairman of a commission set up to save Scots broadcasting said, Scotland has moved to a slower side in the television production part, which has to be revived soon.
This downward trend in the Scottish television production sector has also influenced the viewers a lot with lowering their interest to watch the programs. Even the new broadcasting commission, set to monitor and enhance the standard of the Scottish television industry has agreed to the fact that these dramas are a key element to revive this sector. This concept is clearly proved by the way viewers appreciated and liked the Dr Who series which got a huge success.
The Chairman of the Broadcasting commission, Blair Jenkins said dramas are the souls of the television industry, the way these dramas have flourished in our industry tell the importance of them in the lives of viewers. “If you look at the north-west of England, there is now a halo effect from dramas like Life on Mars.” This helps in both way from the financial front and talent front, such things keeps the industry going. He also felt the need to revive the news coverage in Scotland, this industry has also seen a set back in recent years.
The Scottish television industry’s quest for this revival could place this industry again in the main stream. Hope soon Scottish TV will regain its form and get more space in the hearts of viewers and becomes more economically strong.
