Revisit the first panel discussion from our event ‘Public Access Television, the Community Programme Unit and the BBC’, in partnership with the Bishopsgate Institute, exploring the Community Programme Unit’s role in bringing public access television to the UK, and the legacies and tentacles of its achievements.

The event took place on 25 March 2023, and was part of our exhibition ‘People Make Television’ 28 January–26 March 2023, an exhibition of DIY television from the 1970s curated by Lori E Allen, Matthew Harle, William Fowler and Alex Sainsbury.

This panel brought together Selma James, Mike Phillips and Maggie Pinhorn for a discussion chaired by Clive Nwonka.
