MPs have called on the BBC not to overspend on programmes such as Suits and Schitt’s Creek, making the issue part of a wider discussion about the corporation’s future.
The concern was raised by an influential committee during continuing debate over the BBC’s direction and funding. The committee’s intervention places spending on individual programmes within broader questions about how the broadcaster should use its resources.
No further details have been provided about the sums involved, the programmes’ costs or the committee’s specific recommendations. The available information also does not set out a response from the BBC.
The debate over the corporation’s future is continuing, with spending decisions among the issues being examined by MPs.
