Inward investment in UK film and TV shows reached £1.36bn in the opening nine months of last year, according to figures from the British Film Institute. It represented a £160m increase on the same period in 2018. By comparison, spending on domestic features fell to £135m from £229m. The free-spending streamers seem to have kick-started another renaissance, this time in Britain’s film and TV industries. Much of this is fuelled by debt, however. Netflix and Disney alone have a combined debt of $31bn (£24bn).
