BBC Studios has some way to go in resuming production following the global pandemic, with only around 60% of productions back on track in the U.K. and some natural history series still in limbo.

The executive says the “seasonality” of the natural world further complicates production, meaning that an already delayed travel schedule could be pushed back even further.

The full effects of COVID-19 on BBC Studios, however, will be felt only in the 2020/2021 results, although Fussell — who most recently served as CFO for BBC Studios — says the pandemic and its early cancellation and delivery costs back in March did see a £8 million-£9 million hit on profits in this recent financial year.
