This week, Directors UK CEO Andy Harrower sat down with Ashley Golder on the TV Makers Podcast for an honest conversation about the state of the TV and film industry and what’s being done behind the scenes to protect freelancers.
Andy offers a clear look at where the industry finds itself heading into 2026; a prolonged commissioning slowdown, growing insecurity for freelancers, and an erosion of the director’s role across parts of television.
