Coronavirus continues to keep much of the TV industry on hold Actors, presenters, directors and crew members could be put in quarantine to aid filming for BBC programmes amid the coronavirus pandemic.
That’s one solution offered by Piers Wenger, head of BBC drama commissioning, who said it would enable teams to resume filming of scripted shows including EastEnders, Strictly Come Dancing as well as high-end dramas.
Wenger told a virtual session of the Edinburgh television festival [via The Guardian] that the idea of “quarantining actors and crew in order to allow actors to interact in the same space” is being considered by the BBC after the COVID-19 outbreak shut down much of the TV industry.
