BBC Children’s TV Commissioning: 0-6 years and 7-12 years

What is your editorial strategy?

Ideas which will cut through and have a high-impact with our audience. Titles can have an international appeal, but with a distinctively British twist. Everything we make should be truly diverse, reflecting our audience’s lives and loves. Our primary platform is the BBC iPlayer VOD service, and all our commissions are also shown on our 0-6 and 7-12 linear TV channels.

What type of projects/programs are you looking for?

In 0-6 we are looking for relatable comedy which originates from the lives that kids are leading, but can incorporate their incredible imaginations too. For 7-12 we are also seeking comedy for the younger end of this audience: fast-paced and laugh out loud. For the older 10-12s we’d like to commission a series with more complex character journeys and story arcs, reflecting the interest this age group has in anime and comic books.
