New ideas form a key part of BBC programming policy

Drama, comedy and entertainment programmes with fresh new ideas will remain a hallmark of UK pubcaster the BBC's output.

Series include a BBC One drama called Occupation, which tells of the lives of soldiers returning from Iraq, as well as a new BBC Two drama which will attempt to tell the story of the collapse of the Lehman Brothers bank. BBC

Three will continue to cement its reputation as the digital channel for new comedy talent with new studio comedy from We Are Klang and a new narrative comedy called The Gemma Factor. 

The BBC's Statements of Programme Policy (SoPPs) has been published. These statements outline the commitments and editorial priorities across BBC services for the year ahead and explain how each service will deliver the requirements of their Service Licence and Purpose Remit.

They also aim to demonstrate the BBC's ongoing commitment to meeting audience needs and to delivering excellence and value across all of its services.

Arts and culture programming will be further enhanced in the year ahead across BBC services. Among a plethora of additional series and formats that will exclusively focus on the arts and culture genres, the most ambitious season on poetry, in the history of BBC, will roll out across BBC Two, BBC Four and CBeebies, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4 and online.

Factual output will remain at the core of BBC's TV schedules with new commissions such as The Science Show (working title) on BBC One bringing science to a family audience. BBC Two will also play a role in strengthening our factual offering with new programmes such as South Pacific, a six-part natural history series, and Recession Britain, a documentary series which tackles different areas of the UK's changing economy. BBC Three will feature a range of programmes in The Grown-Up Season examining at what age one should be treated as a grown-up.

Highlights in radio programming include a series of social action campaigns focusing on issues such as drugs and bullying which will be developed in a partnership between BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and BBC Switch. Radio 4 is also set to feature landmark factual series and a partnership with the British Museum will be rolled out. New programming on Radio 2, 3 and 4 will also explore the impact of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Following the recent BBC Trust review of BBC Online, the corporation will become better connected to sites and services outside of the BBC. There are also plans to make the successful BBC iPlayer available on a wide range of platforms and devices.
