Good morning, everybody. I will probably come to all three of you but I will start with Patricia. The evidence referred to a global retreat from commissioning children’s content on the biggest platforms. How is this impacting your ability to source and work with co-production partners?

Do you own the IP for these co-productions?

Sorry, Patricia, to cut across you. I mean UK partners. I am sure colleagues in their own constituencies have a number of small and independent—

Given the challenges facing the market for co-productions, what are we doing to find more partners, find the next generation of co-producing partners? What are we doing?
