Have you ever caught yourself thinking…
“Could I go to jail if we get this wrong?”
“Can we legally film this?”
“Can we broadcast that without permission?”
“What happens if someone withdraws consent?”
If so, this episode is for you.
Joining TV Makers is Clare Hoban, Co-CEO of Reviewed & Cleared and an editorial content lawyer with years of experience in the TV and content world and she was generous (and patient!) enough to sit down with Ashley Golder and get asked all the questions we’ve always wondered the answers to but either never had the opportunity to ask, or dare we say it…never wanted to look foolish in asking ourselves?
The answers might even surprise you!
One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that television can often do far more than people realise – as long as you understand where the legal, editorial and compliance boundaries actually sit.
This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 will be released next week instead of the usual 2 week gap, where we tackle even more real-world scenarios and answer more of the questions you’ve always wanted to ask a TV lawyer. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss it.
Please note: This interview was recorded earlier in 2026. Whilst we’ve done our best to keep everything up to date, this episode should not be taken as legal advice. Laws, regulations and guidance change, and every production is different. If you need advice on a specific situation, please contact Clare and the team at Reviewed & Cleared.
