Marina's new show, The Franchise is out now. What goes on in the writing room, how does a show evolve from idea, to pilot, to series, and to release? Marina takes us through all the stages. There is another release around the corner, a new John le Carré novel. Written by his son Nick Harkaway Richard has had an early read and it is the very essence of all that we loved from le Carré's writing. What goes into managing the legacy of a creative catalogue, and why are some legacies successful and others less so?
