There's never been a better time to be working in the comedy industry. From BBC1 to ITV2, Sky Atlantic to UK Gold, Netflix to YouTube, there are more channels commissioning original comedy than ever before. So with all this money flying around, how can you get a slice of the action? What can you do to turn your idea for a sitcom into a fully commissioned production?

Join our panel of genre experts, including some of the most prolific commissioners and busiest producers from the past year, as they discuss everything you need to know to get a commission: the most successful ways to pitch, how to get the best out of writers, how to attach top talent, where to find co-funding, the merits of treatments versus scripts, where to take your idea, how to negotiate the minefield of the commission process.

Panellists: Ash Atalla, Managing Director, Rough Cut; Henry Normal, Managing Director & Executive Producer, Baby Cow Productions; Myfanwy Moore, Director of Comedy, ITV; Phil Clarke, Head of Comedy, Channel 4
Chair: Jason Manford, Comedian
Producer: Chris Sussman, Executive Editor, Comedy, BBC
