And just as there’s been a Hollywood Reporteractress roundtable, there’s also been a showrunner roundtable, too (I’m sure they’ll get round to the actors soon enough). You can read the transcript over here, but here’s some video fun for your enjoyment involving Nic Pizzolatto (True Detective), Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad), Matthew Weiner (Mad Men), Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel), Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, Studio 60, The Newsroom) and Ann Biderman (Ray Donovan).
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
