Twenty-five-strong group aims to improve production diversity and career progression opportunities.
The Production Guild of Great Britain (Pggb) has launched a diversity and inclusion action group (Diag) to improve behind the camera representation.
Increasing the number of diverse people in production positions has become a key debate issue for UK producers in film and TV and the Diag has created a 25-strong member taskforce in response.
They will meet monthly to devise action plans in areas such as training and mentorship, with an overarching target of helping to increase visibility of diversity on productions and progress those in mid-level positions to more senior roles.

BBC One renews “Staged”; Tencent strikes European deals; U.K. Producers’ Guild launches diversity plan; India’s PVR adds former IMAX chief; and Channel 4 orders royal documentary series.
U.K. broadcaster BBC has ordered a second season of comedy “Staged,” created by Simon Evans and Phin Glynn, and starring Michael Sheen (“Good Omens”) and David Tennant (“Des”) from Infinity Hill and Gcb Films.
Shot during lockdown, the first season starred Tennant and Sheen as two actors whose West End play has been put on hold due to Covid-19, but whose director has persuaded them to carry on rehearsing online. The new series sees the pair attempt to navigate their new normal at home with their increasingly exasperated families, while simultaneously trying to tackle the world of virtual Hollywood.
Following on from the surprise appearances in season one of Judi Dench and Samuel L. Jackson, this season will have more celebrity guests.
