Thanks to the gracious invitation from my SRN colleague Paolo Russo - and a grant he was able to procure (and in the before-Covid time) I was able to spend a week at Oxford-Brookes University working with the screenwriting masters students in Paolo's course. At the culmination of the week, I gave this lecture on how writer's rooms worked in the States.

I can't stand it, but not on my team. So there you go. So this is really important. He was recognizing that in what he was creating for television and again made the programming more inclusive.
