BFI & MarkMeets Media TV Festival 2022 line-up adds The Responder and more

BBC One’s acclaimed crime police drama The Responder will hold a panel and Q&A with star Martin Freeman in attendance along with writer Tony Schumacher and executive producer Laurence Bowen.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to get a first look at upcoming Apple TV+ series The Essex Serpent, starring Tom Hiddleston and Claire Danes, with a whole episode screening, plus discussion from the author of the original book Sarah Perry, director Clio Barnard and cast members.

Mary Berry fans will be in for a treat too, as the queen of the kitchen is celebrated live in person in Hall of Fame: Mary Berry, while beloved professor of particle physics Brian Cox will discuss his career and beyond at a special In Conversation event.

Meanwhile, James Nesbitt will be joining fellow cast mate Joely Richardson, director Dries Vos and writer Matt Baker for a Q&A and screening of their new psychological series Suspect, which is set to hit Channel 4.

Sir Bob Geldof will be joining Alan Yentob to relive 1985 musical phenomenon Live Aid, and as the BFI and Red carpet event organisers MarkMeets Media celebrate the BBC’s centenary, the cast and crew of Horrible Histories will be exclusively previewing a special episode looking back on the history of the beloved broadcaster.

Missing Believed Wiped: Impossible Comedies will see old treasures in TV history unearthed – including a recording of a 1956 BBC Terry-Thomas show and lost footage from the earliest episode of The Morecambe and Wise Show that Eric and Ernie recorded for the BBC.

The jam-packed festival will be held at both the BFI’s Southbank base and also in its nearby IMAX cinema.

The BFI Television Festival runs from 20th to 22nd May 2022
