Should a Man Write the Drama about the Sarah Everard Case? Our Take on the BBC Controversy | Bonus Episode

Thursday, July 2, 2026 • Duration 42:51

🎙️ A special bonus episode of Popcorn & Patriarchy.

🍿💋 This week, Esme and Joe step away from their usual film discussion and creative challenge format to unpack a major debate in the UK screen industry.

Following the BBC's decision to commission a drama about Sarah Everard, more than 400 female screenwriters signed an open letter criticising the appointment of a male writer. Esme and Joe explore the arguments on both sides, discuss why they disagree with the letter's central position, and ask broader questions about authorship, representation, and who gets to tell whose stories.

As always, the conversation is thoughtful, feminist, and unafraid to challenge assumptions—even when those assumptions come from within the creative industries themselves.

This episode discusses violence against women and girls, sexual violence, domestic abuse, and policing. If anything raised in this conversation affects you, support is available via the resources below:
