True, but it’s still part of the same problem. ''Does this have enough global appeal to sell internationally?'' being the deciding factor of whether every homegrown show gets commissioned or not, if that's what it's going to come to, isn’t going to end well. Just look at the dire state the British film industry is in.

They've mot been able to build sound stages fast enough in the last decade. In recent years it's more likely the big blockbuster films have Bern filmed in the UK than in Hollywood. Of course that does mean American films being name on British soil but financially at least the British film production industry isn't in a dire state, and actual British films still punch above their weight.

Anyway we stray but worth mentioning the huge tax relief programmes given to the film industry and now the "high end" TV industry. Latest figures shows £829m went to "High end TV" in 2021/22.
