ITV’s budget cuts do not include Austen (we think)

It’s kind of hard to tell from this article, but it seems that ITV is cutting back on some kinds of drama to permit “high-quality” productions such as the “Jane Austen Season.”

Elliott added that the move to scale back the more expensive single and two-part dramas would free up money to be spent on high quality productions and pointed to the forthcoming Jane Austen season and the much-awaited return of Jimmy McGovern’s Cracker.

Yes, but see where saving money gets you?

    But surely, if ITV REALLY wants to save money, they should move the whole operation to Bath, not just this one production. It worked for Sir Walter. ITV “might there be important at comparatively little expense.”
