Rebecca Brown, Specialist Factual Commercial Manager for BBC Studios, said: “The hunger for diverse content has never been higher. Supporting Big Deal will provide content across a number of genres at a time when this is needed more than ever.

“We know that younger audiences really want truth in a world of fake news, and Big Deal is the ideal producer to deliver this.”
