ITN Productions commissioned to produce Coronavirus Heroes: Keeping Britain Going (w/t)for Channel 4OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Channel 4 ITN Productions is to produce Coronavirus Heroes: Keeping Britain Going (w/t), a documentary focusing on the army of people who are working hard to keep the country functioning in these extraordinary times, it was announced today (WEDS). The hour-long programme for Channel 4 which transmits next month, celebrates the numerous people from teachers to delivery drivers, supermarket staff to food industry workers, cleaners to carers and refuse collectors to bus drivers – to name just a few - who are keeping the nation functioning. Commissioned by Louisa Compton, new Head of News and Current Affairs, Coronavirus Heroes: Keeping Britain Going (w/t), will follow a small group of frontline workers who will share their remarkable and inspiring stories. They will film themselves, their family and friends to provide a moving and realistic portrait of their days and the impact it has – some of them living in extraordinarily challenging circumstances themselves.
"For the millions of us living in lockdown, they provide a life-line and vital service who despite the threat of the deadly virus, are helping people day-in and day-out. We simply wouldn’t be able to function without them."
It was commissioned by Louisa Compton at Channel 4.
