James Graham, the creator of Sherwood, Dear England and Brexit: The Uncivil War, has called for the creation of “new universes” and taking greater risks rather than television’s gatekeepers “falling back on tried and tested intellectual property rights.”

At the MacTaggart lecture at this year’s Edinburgh TV Festival, the prolific British writer made an impassioned case for greater working-class representation in the television industry, while criticizing the commissioners’ persistent temptation to opt for “source material, adaptations and expanded universes.”

Graham used the annual platform in Edinburgh to argue for 'new universes, which means taking risks'.
