Quick question for British TV drama nerds: are there still any dramas shot using a 'traditional' in-studio three camera set up?
I assume that's how 'live' episodes of soaps are shot but I'm wondering because I'm wondering if there's been a Dogme kind of drama using older methods of TV production

The UK and US just signed a trade deal.
Scotland wasn’t even told.
Not consulted. Not informed. Not considered.
Scottish whisky and salmon weren’t included.
And when the damage hits, they’ll tell us we’re “too poor” to be independent.
This is what the union costs.
