It’s a pleasure to be here in Belfast, and a real privilege to be able to deliver this lecture as part of the Belfast Media Festival’s tenth anniversary celebrations. And it’s an honour to be delivering the Dan Gilbert Lecture, who did so much to nurture and develop new talent in the BBC. Ten years ago, following discussions at the Creative Skillse...
I’m proud of the role that the BBC plays in and for Northern Ireland. It’s a relationship that goes back 95 years. But the past few years have seen us focus even harder on what we can do to step up our contribution.

Schemes like these, I hope, give you a sense of the depth and range of our ambition. As the BBC’s nations and regions division, we are determined to be the front door to the BBC for everyone who wants to forge a career in the creative sector - a front door with a big sign on it saying: 'welcome'. And we want to be the biggest champions of programme...
