With the likes of Ricky Gervais now moving to producing content exclusively for YouTube, and with global companies like Intel and Toshiba funding social media driven dramas, many in the traditional broadcast industry are asking 'Where next for drama and fiction in broadcasting?'.

BBC Academy did its best to provide a few tentative suggestions in its latest open forum, the Fusion Future Fiction day, held at BBC Broadcasting House last week. The day set out to explore how technology, emerging themes and audience habits are changing the art, craft, science and business of storytelling on screens large and small, and BBC CoP went along to hear the questions, debates and ideas put forward.
