Long hours and broken turnarounds... are TV and film crews being squeezed to breaking point? Plus film critic and broadcaster Rhianna Dhillon joins us to look at the issue - and how the Oscars’ TV show is still searching for a younger audience.


Also on the programme: City AM is one of the last freesheets standing. Editor Christian May is here to reveal its staying power.


All that plus: the BBC gets another grilling from MPs, Channel 4 News gets caught up in the Gaza doc controversy... and, in the Media Quiz, our pundits try to score a perfect ten.


That’s all happening in this edition of The Media Club. Come on in!
