BBC Films for Television Training: Television Production Planning

Directed by Ian Curtis, Duncan Griffin-Beale

A BBC Television Training film that pulls back the curtain on how TV was really made in the 1960s, clipboards, call sheets, and all. It’s a fascinatingly dry yet oddly hypnotic look at the mechanics of production: script breakdowns, scheduling, budgeting, and the careful choreography between departments that kept live and recorded shows on air.
