Programme

We kickstart our exploration of the art of storytelling with the highly entertaining lecture TV-series with no expiration date.

What makes some series last and get better with each season, while others start dying after just a few episodes? What are the necessary ingredients in a successful long-running series – the kind that does not seem to have an expiration date? – Delivering the answer is Tatjana Andersson, script editor at SVT.

Be sure not to miss this or any of the interesting topics discussed by our invited guests.
