David Tennant, the Doctor Who and Good Omens star, has praised the BBC as “a kitemark for quality“.
Tim Davie’s remarks follow a BBC announcement in March that the organization is facing a significant funding shortfall for content creation over the next year.
The report found that a key reason for this change is a decrease in collaborations with major streaming services and media companies.
The company warned that it will be hard to keep making the same amount of UK content unless something changes, and announced a £150 million decrease in its spending over the next year.
This number isn’t fixed and usually changes based on major sporting events that happen occasionally. There aren’t any of those planned for next year.
Tennant also expressed fear about the growing use of AI, stating he believes it’s sadly unavoidable that the technology will put creative jobs at risk.
He also said he’s becoming more fearful of expressing his opinions on culture war issues.
He explained that when you’re a public figure and speak freely, people will naturally be interested in what you think.
He went on to say that it’s difficult when beliefs people once felt secure in are now being strongly questioned due to shifts in society.
“It’s difficult not to censor yourself when speaking your truth can feel quite spicy.”
