3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

Does the data or research tell you anything about the relative benefit or disbenefit of binge watching a single show with 10 episodes versus having a line of varied content, including a bit of animation, a bit of live action, a little bit of news, old-fashioned channels, what we used to call a channel?

Sorry, I cut across you. You were just handing over to Kate to talk about inputs.

I wonder as a follow-up—I don’t expect you to have this in front of you—you might be able to give us something quantified about the change over time from live action to cartoon or whatever other formats. That would be quite interesting.

Presumably that is a different calculation now in a world where people are selecting individual pieces of content to watch. If you thought, “I have got this kid for an hour” it is easier to mix in a cartoon that they are just going to enjoy with a little bit of let’s tell them about vegetables or something, because kid

Good morning, everyone. We all remember great children’s telly. Some of it is because it is just good entertainment and some of it is just it keeps you busy, keeps you occupied, but then also for some output there is an educational and developmental benefit. There is the famous “Sesame Street” effect. What mix do you a

Because we are short of time, may I ask just this follow-up? Can you give us something in writing about numbers, how the programme has grown, how it has changed, and what the future what the future plans are?

It was all about the focus on the home learning environment, which is the missing link in child—not missing, but you know what I mean. It needs more focus for social mobility, for child development, for early years and so on.

Sorry, forgive me. The genesis was before covid. It was not deployed, but it was created around 2018 or 2017.

3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

It was initiated before covid.

Can I ask Kate about “Tiny Happy People”? What went right, what went wrong? You might need to explain what it is, or was, first.

3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

But there is no product for them, is there? There is on the radio, but there is not on telly. Do you think that that is a gap or you are happy with that, particularly in the mis- and disinformation world and the unique role that you play? It sounds like it sounds like you think that things are broadly okay.

Will Skills England be involved in that now?

10 Feb 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

Did you mention to Baroness Smith any worries about the removal of public funding for level 7 apprenticeships for people aged 22 or above, like heritage consultants, conservation architects, or the archaeology specialist masters?

10 Feb 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

How would it do that?

10 Feb 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

That is possible already.

10 Feb 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

How would you anticipate Skills England having a role in making people aware of the opportunities?

10 Feb 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

Are you working on that weighting, that formula at the moment? When do you anticipate publishing the criteria?

10 Feb 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

Which happens to be hotel accommodation. Fazima, from the point of view of the wider heritage asset register, is there any particular move to use it as a way to develop tourism and travel?

10 Feb 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

May I ask about skills? You talked earlier about planning for the skills pipeline. Obviously, the Government are making a lot of changes to the Apprenticeship Levy, the Growth and Skills Levy, and are going to reduce the minimum length and content of apprenticeships and remove the independent body that oversees apprent
