Viaplay Readies Young Adult Drama ‘Live Life’
More announcements are incoming for the event that takes place from 24 to 26 August, including the main MacTaggart lecturer. “We have the casts of some of TV’s most exciting and loved shows, and of course, the inimitable Brian Cox, as well as sessions discussing urgent industry matters,” said Creative Director Stewart Clarke. Journalist and Broadcaster Afua Hirsch is chairing this year’s festival, the first for three years to take place in person. Masterclasses will feature stars from Ghosts and Heartstopper and there will be the usual mix of industry panels and commissioner sessions featuring the biggest names from all the major Public Service Broadcasters, Netflix, Sky, Disney, Amazon Prime Video and UKTV. Elsewhere, Cox will discuss his lauded career in an in-depth interview and Matafeo will be in conversation with Dolly Alderton, the creator of BBC One’s Everything I Know About Love, which debuted last night.

Deaf Strictly Come Dancing and EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis will deliver the annual alternative address, billed as an “uncompromising speech about her experiences as a deaf actress and the stark realities of life as a young person with a disability in this industry.” Her speech comes a year after Help scribe Jack Thorne’s blistering MacTaggart, which blasted the UK TV industry for “utterly and totally” failing disabled people. Succession star Brian Cox, Starstruck creator Rose Matafeo and the biggest UK broadcasting bosses will feature at this year’s Edinburgh TV Festival, which unveiled its Alternative MacTaggart speaker.
