Advertising Race Row

Representation in adverts, streaming takeovers and history on TV. Guests include Sara Denby, Dino Myers-Lamptey, Camilla Lewis and Bettany Hughes.

A row over comments by a British MP has reignited debate about who we see in adverts. Sara Denby from the University of Oxford and Dino Myers-Lamptey from The Barber Shop agency share their views on how the industry has changed.

In the US, major streaming companies are merging as they compete for global audiences. Camilla Lewis, chief executive of Curve Media, explains what this could mean for both producers and viewers.

Historian Bettany Hughes returns with Treasures of the World on Channel 4. She talks about filming around the globe, how history programmes are made today and why stories from the past still attract big audiences.
