The TV Studio Production Handbook explains the production process from 
beginning to end and covers everything media students need to know to 
create a successful studio television programme. It is an illuminating 
read for those starting out in the industry and an invaluable resource 
for students of media, film and TV.

This one-stop handbook is packed with interviews from top TV executives 
from the UK, USA, Australia and China and includes live case studies 
from hit international formats covering every genre, from reality, to 
drama to news, with scripts from Britain’s Got Talent, Big Brother, 
Coronation Street,The Chase,Teletubbies, Channel 4 News and more.

The authors, both of them award-winning TV programme-makers and academic 
programme leaders, break things down genre by genre and explore 
pre-production, casting, scripting, as well as all the required 
paperwork from call sheets to running orders. They also examine the 
future of studio and the multiplatform opportunities available for 
programme makers internationally.

Handbook delivers a window on the real world of programme making 
alongside the theory.’ – David Williams, BBC Creative Director of

triumphed in the trenches of TV production gives you the tools you need 
to negotiate today’s rapidly evolving international TV landscape.' *-
