The latest edition of Talking TV explores how BBC gameshow Pointless managed to reach 1,000 episodes and provides a guide to BBC Studios ahead of its commercialisation in April. Remarkable joint managing director James Fox joins us in the studio to discuss the long-running quiz and explain how they’ve kept the Richard Osman and Alexander Armstrong-fronted show fresh. Fox also discusses the Endemol Shine indie’s international strategy, which saw it reversion The Great Australian Spelling Bee for Sky 1, and gives his thoughts on the entertainment market. Elsewhere, Broadcast’s Hannah Gannagé-Stewart explains the latest developments at BBC Studios after the Trust gave it a greenlight to commercialise and discusses Danny Cohen's plans to fund a series of 'super-dramas' with BBC Worldwide and Lookout Point.
