The Media Production & Technology Show is one of the key events in the industry calendar where technology, creativity and innovation converge. As you’d expect, BBC R&D was well represented across the show.

In this special episode of Inside R&D, Joseph Turner headed to MPTS 2026 with a camera and microphone, catching up with BBC R&D engineers and a former colleague now working in the wider industry.

Across three short conversations, they explore what’s changing, what’s exciting, and what’s coming next for media and technology and what that means for the BBC.
