This week, an extended interview with the screenwriter and producer Russell T Davies. He talks to Katie and Ros about his long career in television, from early days in children's TV, to bringing back Doctor Who, to his more recent successes like the critically acclaimed Tip Toe. He also gives his thoughts on the media landscape today, including the role of AI and the lack of commissioning opportunities. Also, former barrister and legal correspondent Clive Coleman, now a specialist in crisis PR and reputation management, and former BBC news exec Katy Searle discuss the BBC's defamation settlement with the founder of LGBTQ+ news site Pink News and his husband over a 2024 investigation. How should the BBC respond when it gets things wrong? And after Reform UK's Deputy Leader Richard Tice issued a statement criticising ITV for an upcoming investigation, we explore the editorial and legal implications of going undercover. Presenters: Katie Razzall and Ros Atkins Producers: Lisa Jenkinson and Tim Bano
