RTS Behind the Scenes: Newsnight

As an educational charity, part of the RTS focus is on providing information for young entrants into the television and media industry. RTS Behind the Scenes is our newest series exploring the production process of some of Britain’s most popular programmes. From current affairs to comedy, panel shows and soaps, this series will offer a rare glimpse backstage of each production, highlighting all the different roles and giving a sense of what they entail.
In the first of this series, we go behind the scenes of Newsnight. Renowned as much for its meticulous analysis and tough cross-examination as its quirky play-outs, Newsnight is a stalwart of British current affairs programming. Its team includes some of the best in their field so join us to see how they go about bringing their famous brand of news analysis to our screens.

Ian Catz: If you read this being in charge of Newsnight, I liked this 2010 version of Newsnight, and not the current, please bring back the 2010 version.

I disagree, the current version of newnight is really good.

@@Stefan-jk5gx I think after 39 years George Fenton as composer, and the current branding, should have taken the opportunity to bring in David Lowe to re score the theme, as clearly the themes had its day - now old and stuffy.

I'm disappointed the video didn't start with "Welcome to Britain's whitest office"
