Where better to end our third season than Cannes. But this time we’re here for the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, where the world’s biggest media brands and advertising agencies have decamped on the Croisette in impressive numbers and with even more impressive stands, installations and mega yachts - to woo clients, talk strategy and drink rose in the sun.

My guests this week helping me make sense of Cannes Lions from a content industry perspective are Julian Newby and Andy Fry from the Cannes Lions Daily magazine and Alex Morris, director of LADstudios at LADbible.

We’re doing something slightly different for TellyCast this week - and that’s focusing on the animation sector of the content industry, from MIFA - one the industry’s showcase events, set on the shores of Lake Annecy in France.

Even if you aren’t in the animation game, I’d still recommend having a listen to this week’s show, where I get to chat to some of the industry’s key players on sector trends and the importance of MIFA for the animation industry. There’s lots of parallels and perhaps some insights to take for the rest of the content industry.

Guests are Michael Rose and Martin Pope from Magic Light Pictures, David Park and Debbie Crosscup from Passion Pictures and industry veteran Marge Dean, Emmy-award winning Head of Skybound Entertainments' Animation Studio and President of Women in Animation.

Since the Russian invasion 2 weeks ago it seems inappropriate to just carry on the show as usual without fully acknowledging the world changing events happening in Eastern Europe right now and how they’re affecting the people in our industry.

So this week’s show is just one interview. One discussion with Film UA's Kateryna Vyshnevska, a  TV executive who’s caught up right in the middle of this catastrophe. She's in Kyiv right now and we recorded this discussion on Sunday 6th March. In conversation with Boom! PR's Justin Crosby.

This week’s show is a slightly different kind of TellyCast, looking into a subject that’s often on the lips of TV producers and format creators - IP and TV format theft.

We wanted to find out if this really is a common issue in the UK industry, what happens in these kind of disputes, how they arise, the impact on the producer - and what can be done about it in the future.

So Boom! PR's Justin Crosby caught up with leading IP lawyer Jonathan Coad, PACT CEO John McVay, the TV presenter and format creator at the centre of a current dispute Tim Shaw and three leading independent TV producers who are appearing anonymously.
