With the imminent release of Rose Matefeo’s brand new romcom Starstruck on BBC Three at the end of April, this coming year marks a watershed moment in broadcasting history with most BBC Three comedy either starring, written by or created by women. BBC Three will be the first UK channel to achieve this landmark in female representation with 58% of long-form scripted comedy written by women.
Upcoming titles include Lazy Susan, Starstruck and Ellie and Natasia plus the second series of both In My Skin and Back to Life.
In addition to this, the BBC today announces four new BBC Comedy Slices for BBC Three, all of which are written by and/or star female talent: Ladybaby, Amicable, Dinosaur and Britney, which results in the majority of comedy programmes on BBC Three now being female led.
Kate Daughton, outgoing Head of Comedy at the BBC, says: “Building on the huge success of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Daisy May Cooper, this marks a monumental achievement and is testament to the fact the most pioneering and exciting new voices in comedy are increasingly female.”
Kate leaves the Comedy Commissioning team today having made a tremendous impact overseeing a raft of female first titles. Since Kate’s arrival in 2017 she has commissioned and nurtured Fleabag, Mum, Ghosts, Gavin & Stacey: Christmas Special (2019), This Time With Alan Partridge, Back to Life, The Goes Wrong Show, Out of Her Mind, Two Doors Down, In My Skin and Man Like Mobeen. Alongside the forthcoming Witchfinder, Alma’s Not Normal and Stephen Merchant series The Offenders (w/t).
Shane Allen, Director of BBC Comedy, says: “Five years ago there were still articles asking where all the funny women were. That hoary old nonsense can finally be dispensed with once and for all. It’s a level playing field with the most vibrant and dynamic work coming through from females writers and writer performers who are elevating the art form of comedy and expanding its horizons. As for Kate Daughton, no longer will she curse at me for loud sneezing in the office. Partly because she’s leaving and mostly because we’ve not been in the office. Truly bereft; in denial that she’s off and we’re lucky to have had her for so long.”
Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer, says: “Kate’s impeccable taste, whip smart comedy brain and beguiling ways with talent have had a transformative impact on the comedy output in her time here. The fact that BBC Three can claim to be the first UK channel with a majority of female led and written scripted comedy is in large part down to her vision and passion for backing genre defining female creatives. She’ll be sorely missed but thankfully leaves behind a terrific legacy of shows ahead.”

剧本稀烂，矫情死我算了
安妮·博林与戴安娜，莫名想起了《游戏规则》
1.拉雷恩的最新女性传记片，与[第一夫人]风格迥异，后者是乱序碎片式意识流叙事，对杰奎琳的公共与私人生活及公私虚实过渡域（访谈）同时并重，而本片则全然是描摹个人内心的寓言式（一如片首字幕）心理惊悚片。2.服化道都做到了华美的极致，也正反衬出了王妃与虚浮仪轨繁文缛节的格格不入。3.小K的表演已相当出色，与真人的贴近度我个人无法评判（但据戴妃贴身保镖等人评价，这是最真实还原的一部影视作品），对抑郁、焦虑与贪食症的展现足够真实。元表演维度：那些细小的尴尬-游离-造作之处，实而既不可控又符合整体规划，成为对戴安娜装扮演绎“人民的王妃”的象喻。4.阴郁冷暗的光色、窥视游移的广角镜头和[闪灵]式鬼片调度带来的囚困感与第三幕的明媚阳光、室外浪游形成鲜明反差。5.幻梦段落中的自由穿梭、换装、舞动、奔跑至为动人。（8.5/10）
优映这是要转型做广垫让播的片子了，挺好的，虽然带上了镣铐，舞姿依然惊艳
既然是在拍摄早已远去的幽灵，那么不如拍点实际点的东西，即——论不想“扮演”王妃的演员小K如何恢复成小K的自由身，在这点上拉雷恩是成功的，最后一段MV似的蒙太奇颇有玩味之处，它打破了空间秩序，在这里衣服只是衣服，想换就换。
典中典的戏路，被迫组队-制造矛盾离队-再营救。上百辆出租车追逐拦截属实大场面了。
沿着正确的集体回忆向前推导，难度系数自降为零，再这样束手束脚地拍下去，拉雷恩离广告导演不远了。
戴安娜大概是一个选择错了道路的孩子，她年纪轻轻就将自己置身于这个精致且条框分明的陷阱之中，结尾瞬间的释放与欢愉，反倒有着无限怆然的意味。
老套路，一个误会接着一个误会，最后大结局好人和解，坏人伏法。情怀加一星吧。
也不知道怎么就看完了，这得是多无聊能看完这部电影、看了个寂寞
不知道历史上真实故事是咋样，但看得出来皇室生活和丈夫的出轨让斯宾塞被压迫的踹不过气，在艰难的反抗……斯图尔特的演技在肉眼可见的成长
与《王冠》里用群戏来讲述Diana不同，这部作品明显弱化了其他角色的个人特征而聚焦于Diana的独角戏，她总是一个人蜷缩在角落，一个人穿过长长的走廊。而对于其他人导演则把他们融进声音里——珠宝的敲击声，窗外射击的枪声等等都仿佛生命流逝的声音；化入视线中——那无时无刻不在的眼睛，令人窒息的被监视感…
戴妃的故事已成公案，所以着重展现她的内心世界倒也无可非议，只是这种特写加配乐的组合拳个人实在欣赏不来。斯图尔特感觉上更像是两个孩子的姐姐而非母亲。另外，都已经说她是斯宾塞家的女孩而不是那个高高在上的王妃了，那么日复一日，年复一年地把她的故事拿出来讲，又何必呢？（最后开车唱歌那颇感动）（这导演以后再拍类似的东西，选谁当主演我都不看了）
囿于圣诞三天的戴安娜，无法逃脱现在和过去，小小冬宫似围场，圈住了鸦雀和自由。切入点不错以戴安娜出嫁十年的节点展开，情绪反复堆叠让人容易共情她的神经质和颓丧，层层递进的气氛渲染和各种人物特写也有Jackie的影子，但缺少对戴安娜生平了解的人可能会觉得她矫情（所以最好先看王冠或纪录片）。但或许这就是她彼时心境的缩影，所以对小K的表演还比较满意，英音说得有点用力但起码不太跳戏，服装仪容绝了，神似戴安娜，远看基本无法分辨。尤其喜欢二位小王子，未秃就是可爱。
既然是在拍摄早已远去的幽灵，那么不如拍点实际点的东西，即——论不想“扮演”王妃的演员小K如何恢复成小K的自由身，在这点上拉雷恩是成功的，最后一段MV似的蒙太奇颇有玩味之处，它打破了空间秩序，在这里衣服只是衣服，想换就换。
好莱坞对英国王室这段历史的obsession没有终止之日了。影评人这是在捧杀啊。忽然想，这些其实就是墙外世界的献礼片吧…
啊，我没注意，那个大明白是晓辉吧，三爷是餐厅那个服务员吧
她回答说：这话听起来真可怕，就好像一切事情都已经发生了一样。
死亡阴影笼罩下，以三个漂亮的隐喻（锥鸡，安博林，烈马）串起了自由与桎梏、忠诚与背叛、共情与责任的主题。王妃多疑而敏感，情绪化，除了Maggie，她找不到任何愿意和她平等对话与沟通的人，他们逼迫她去面对一个伪装的事实：如果他们是正常的，那么疯的就是你。当讲起烈马被驯服挡枪的故事，试图以责任和誓言劝服戴安娜时，戴妃的回应是：我不希望任何人为我而死，我也希望那匹烈马不曾被驯服。这笔写出了戴安娜一生中最重要的性格特征：极具爱心与同情心，从不高高在上，不孤高寡远，不曾失去普通人的情感能力。随手一句对白都很精彩：“夫人，我能帮你（穿衣服）”“你能怎么帮我（关于我的命运和处境）？”她不是没有想过后世的声誉，不是没有想过所谓的责任，然而一切实在是太反人性了，那样的桎梏是会杀人的。电影把这个桎梏大胆漂亮地呈现了。
