The BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 have agreed new guidelines and tests for "Out of London" production, in line with Ofcom strictures.

Carpet-bagging is ok. "It is entirely legitimate for a production company to establish a new base for the purposes of a specific commission, with a view to it remaining substantive after the production is finished. However, in the spirit of the definition, broadcasters need to differentiate between genuine long term intent to maintain a substantive base, versus a temporary production office. This should be done through conversations with production companies at the point of commission."
