ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If Part 1 answered many of the questions we've all quietly wondered about... Part 2 goes even deeper.
What happens when legal, ethics and editorial judgement collide?
Can a contributor really withdraw consent?
What should you do if someone threatens self-harm to stop a programme being broadcast?
Can the police confiscate your camera or rushes when on location?
And what actually happens when a production lands in crisis?
Joining TV Makers once again is Clare Hoban, Co-CEO of Reviewed & Cleared and an editorial content lawyer with years of experience advising television productions through some of their most complex legal and editorial challenges.
In this second part of our conversation, Clare shares real-world examples and tackles some of the more nuanced situations that production teams face, from duty of care and ongoing consent to crisis management, GDPR, contributor rights and the legal realities of filming in public.
As with Part 1, many of the answers challenge long-held industry assumptions and highlight why understanding the law properly gives productions far more confidence than relying on TV folklore.
Please note: This interview was recorded earlier in 2026. Whilst we've done our best to keep everything up to date, this episode should not be taken as legal advice. Laws, regulations and guidance change, and every production is different. If you need advice on a specific situation, please contact Clare and the team at Reviewed & Cleared.
