One female director hides that she has a child; younger women face a 39% gender pay gap; and harassment is widespread. Insiders say it’s a wonder the television industry has any women left at all

‘When is the good time to be a woman in TV?” asks Michelle Reynolds, a former TV producer and director. “In the start you get molested and infantilised, in the middle if you have babies they won’t let you work flexibly, then when you get past 45 you’re too bloody old.”

Now is not the best time for women in TV. According to recent research by the Creative Diversity Network, whose Diamond report collects data from the UK’s big broadcasters, the gender gap is widening. The number of women in senior roles fell 5% between 2019 and 2022. One in three directors are women, yet they get only a quarter of director credits. Contributions from female writers fell from 43% to 32% between 2016 and 2022. Behind these figures, women are less likely to be employed on peak-time shows, which are generally more prestigious and have larger audiences, than men.

Nurses ‘sacrifice their health and wellbeing’ to help plug gaps in rotas, Royal College of Nurses says

Almost nine out of 10 nurses come into work when ill, according to research that lays bare the intense pressures staff are under in the NHS.

Last year 85% of nurses still turned up for a shift at least once despite having issues such as stress, back pain, a cold, anxiety or depression.

Seventy-one per cent feel they are under too much pressure at work.

Sixty-six per cent say they are too busy to give patients the ideal level of care.

Forty-five per cent are planning to quit or considering doing so.

Only two in five would recommend nursing as a career – and 21% regret becoming a nurse.
