Drama commissioning

Our creative brief, commissioning contacts and the support we offer companies and writers

Lindsay Salt

Director, BBC Drama

We are the home of UK drama, a world-renowned brand producing a vast array of distinctive, high-quality programming with unrivalled reach across our broad range of platforms. We are committed to working with the best talent on and off-screen, while actively developing and nurturing grass roots authorship via BBC Writers. We are passionate about portraying the extraordinary variety of life in Britain today and we commission entertaining, thought-provoking and surprising stories that inspire our viewers across the whole of the UK.

Our commissioners

All our commissioners work with production companies from across the UK, and some have an additional remit to support indies based in specific Nations and English regions to help the growth of production and talent from outside London.
