Is London the new Hollywood? With writer Laura Martin and TV producer Lisa Walter
There was a significant British presence at this year’s Oscars, with UK film talent receiving 40 nominations and delivering several wins on the night.

They discuss whether that idea holds up after this year’s Academy Awards, and break down some of the biggest British success stories from Sunday night. Tamara also speaks to Lisa Walters, a former Head of Production in TV, who is among the many film and television professionals who have left the industry over the past year due to an ongoing work drought in the UK.
