Re: With the rise of the big players do we risk losing our identity ?
The UK has a strong enough collection of writers, actors, directors and musicians that I don't think we're especially at risk. The BBC alone is a juggernaut. British actors and writers are all over the United States. Making sure we continue to produce artists is why I think things like the BBC and the National Theatre are important.
That said identity isn't a fixed thing, it can and will change naturally over time. So why worry too much about it either way?
