Overall, we鈥檙e looking for...

Strong bold, and innovative popular factual formats that have strong Scottish portrayal at their heart, with the potential to work as returnable network co commissions. Designing The Hebrides, and Martin Compston鈥檚 Scottish Fling are recent examples of where this collaboration has worked well for us.

We are also interested in hearing ideas that would play well solely on the 大象传媒 Scotland Channel. Again, these ideas must have a strong Scottish DNA at their heart and authentically portray a modern vibrant Scotland.

The holy grail for me are formats and ideas that will play particularly well for our underserved audiences. In particular I鈥檓 looking to lean into our C2DE and family audiences.

As always ideas should be feisty, bold and original popular factual entertainment formats or lifestyle features that reflect a vibrant, modern, diverse and contemporary Scotland.

鈥� Ideas that embrace the geographic and social spread of the nation using a variety of voices (think Designing The Hebrides and Jules and Greg鈥檚 Wild Swim).

鈥� Ambitious & achievable treatments with innovative format devices (think Loggerheads)

鈥� Entry into worlds that audiences don鈥檛 normally see or have access to (think The Agency: Unfiltered).

Finding and developing new talent is also a priority for us. Where is the next tranche of Scottish celebrities coming from? Authenticity, accessibility and warmth are qualities I鈥檓 particularly on the lookout for.

Who is the new fresh talent that will really resonate with our Scottish generation Zs. Tonally I am looking for them to be noisy, fun, aspirational and feisty whilst at the same time reflecting a young, sassy, confident and contemporary modern Scotland.
