In this week's episode, I’m joined by Philip Ralph, a multi-award-winning writer for screen and stage. Philip went viral in March for a powerful and well-crafted thread on X (formerly Twitter) in response to the BBC’s axing of the popular soap 'Doctors'. It was a privilege to have him on the show to discuss both his career as a writer and the ongoing crisis facing the TV industry.
We chatted about topics including:
- Why the TV and wider screen industry is in crisis
- Why "survive to 2025" is a flawed idea
- Getting into writing during his time as an understudy
- The lack of new voices
- The importance of soaps
- Writing Verbatim and docudrama writing
- The problem with magical thinking in the arts
- The biggest lessons he’s learned—and much more
