The latest Talking TV podcast reflects on a busy week for the broadcasting industry, which included some seismic news at BBC2 and another ITV channel launch. Host Jake Kanter is joined by new Broadcast editor Chris Curtis and Steven D Wright, the creative director of Whizz Kid Entertainment, to look back on Janice Hadlow’s BBC2 legacy. ITV’s new female-friendly channel ITVBe also comes under the microscope, while there is praise for Channel 5’s opportunistic benefits commissions. Elsewhere, World Productions’ creative director Simon Heath pops by to discuss the second series of BBC2’s hit drama Line of Duty. He also reveals that creator Jed Mercurio has further series in the works. Finally, two new shows get the preview treatment. Find out why BBC4’s Infested: Living with Parasites is gut-churning stuff, while there’s a lukewarm reception for ITV’s new comedy drama Edge of Heaven.
