Q. How do you qualify as a regional producer?
A. The regulator Ofcom recently agreed new guidelines. You must have a business base outside the M25. Your production must then meet two other qualifying criteria; 70% of the qualifying production budget and at least 50% of the key production staff, must be spent regionally. If you require further information on these guidelines please see www.ofcom.org.uk

Q. How do you access development money?
A. Development money is specially ring-fenced for regional producers - must have an idea that Channel 4 wishes to pursue and the funds are then allocated by the Nations and Regions commissioning team.
