A record £4bn was spent making TV shows in the UK in the past year – almost double the figure before the pandemic.
TV production slumped during lockdown but rebounded to a new high between October 2020 and September 2021, the British Film Institute (BFI) has said.
Some £4.14bn was spent filming British and foreign shows like Bridgerton and Peaky Blinders in the UK in that time.
That compares with the £2.3bn spent in the same period in 2018-19, and is 10 times more than was spent in 2013.
The latest figure includes money spent by British TV channels on home-made series like Doctor Who, The Bay, Shetland and Ghosts.
