2/ and as for Hulu and its Handmaid's Tale, 2.3m watched each episode on @Channel4 probably a lot more than on Hulu in US though of course it doesn't release viewing figures. Read our report @ArmitageJim
1/ Absolutely right about deep pockets of SVoDs but why does @ArmitageJim claim in @EveningStandard that Netflix et al "are now the most popular way we watch TV and movies". Where's the evidence? Vast majority of UK viewing is still produced by PSBs despite inferior budgets
@publicradionerd@simoneknox @Anamik1977 Then maybe poke around @TVinquiry submissions https://t.co/MUzwseFidc & maybe @SkillsetSSC data/reports https://t.co/1tcQWWiIkJ
