Exposure is a current affairs strand, broadcast in the United Kingdom on the ITV network. The programme comprises long-form films, investigating and exploring domestic and foreign topics. Episodes are produced both by independent production companies and in-house by ITV Studios. The average budget for a single edition is between £150,000 and £200,000. [1]

Contents

The series was commissioned by Peter Fincham, ITV's Director of Television, and is a sister show to year-round current affairs strand Tonight . It made its debut on Monday 26 September 2011 – airing at 22.40, directly after ITV News at Ten . Since its launch, the programme has usually occupied this near-peak slot, but has also been shown as late as 23.10. On 3 March 2015, it made its only appearance to date in primetime, airing at 21.00.

The series was broadcast on Mondays in 2011 and Wednesdays in 2012. The 2013 series was billed as an eight-episode run (the longest to date), with five of the editions airing on consecutive Thursdays in their traditional autumn slots and the remaining three being broadcast as standalone episodes between February and July 2014.

In January 2014 it was announced that ITV would no longer air episodes in a series block, instead spreading them throughout the year. Independent producers expressed concern that this would result in fewer editions, but ITV said the changes allowed for a more flexible approach regarding delivery deadlines, which are often complicated by the need for legal clearance before broadcast. [2]

The three standalone editions aired in early-mid 2014 as part of series 3 from 2013 effectively meant that there was no 2014 series of the strand. The programme began its first non-series run in January 2015.

Promotional trailers for individual editions are rare, but the strand itself featured in a promo for ITV's news and current affairs coverage (along with ITV News , Tonight and The Agenda ) in late 2012. [3]

11"Gaddafi and the IRA"26 September 2011 (2011-09-26)

Colonel Gaddafi gave the IRA enough weapons to turn a militia into an army. Exposure's first film examines his support for the Republicans and investigates the continuing danger of his legacy. Narrated by Paul McGann.

In this episode, ITV mistakenly presented footage taken from the game ArmA 2 as footage of a 1988 IRA attack. The broadcaster apologised, blaming human error. [4] A spokesperson for ITV commented on the error and said:

"The events featured in Exposure: Gaddafi and the IRA were genuine but it would appear that during the editing process the correct clip of the 1988 incident was not selected and other footage was mistakenly included in the film by producers. This was an unfortunate case of human error for which we apologise." [5]

71"The British Way of Death"26 September 2012 (2012-09-26)
Undercover investigation which reveals disrespectful behaviour by British funeral directors. [6]
82"The Other Side of Jimmy Savile"3 October 2012 (2012-10-03)

Former police officer Mark Williams-Thomas investigates sexual abuse of underage girls by Jimmy Savile. Five women (two of whom waived their right to anonymity) all state that they were assaulted or raped by Savile. [7]

The programme was born out of an aborted investigation by the BBC's Newsnight in late 2011, on which Williams-Thomas had worked as a consultant, [8] with reporter Liz MacKean and producer Meirion Jones. [9]

Williams-Thomas took a leading role in the programme, having pitched a proposal to ITV after the BBC dropped the Newsnight investigation; he has praised MacKean and Jones for allowing him to do so. [10] He says he researched the piece as if he were running a police investigation and admits that he was worried that both he and the programme-makers would be heavily criticised if other victims hadn't come forward in the wake of the broadcast. [10]

The piece came within the usual budget for Exposure, costing around £170,000 for the ten-month investigation. It was broadcast in a later-than-usual timeslot of 23.15, but still attracted 2.5 million viewers (including time-shifted viewing) and a 23% audience share. [1]

The edition won Royal Television Society awards in 2013 in the Current Affairs (Home) and Scoop of the Year categories. [11] It was also given a Peabody Award in 2012. [12] The programme gave ITV News a platform for extensive follow-up reports on the subject, which resulted in ITN winning the News Coverage (Home) category in the RTS awards in 2013. [11]

Although it would become the highest profile edition of the programme to date, this episode was broadcast at the later-than-usual time of 23.10.
93"No bribes please! We're British"10 October 2012 (2012-10-10)

126"Banaz: An Honour Killing"31 October 2012 (2012-10-31)

The story of Banaz Mahmod, who was 19 years old when she became the victim of a so-called honour killing ordered by her own family. The programme features footage from a police interview with Banaz, who says she is being followed by members of the Kurdish community from which she originates, having walked out on an abusive forced marriage and pursued a relationship with another man. [13]

The programme is a shorter version of the film Banaz: A Love Story , produced by Fuuse Films created in collaboration with Hardcash Productions for Exposure. [11] Banaz won a Peabody Award and International Emmy Award in 2013, [12] but lost out to another Exposure film, The Other Side of Jimmy Savile, at the Royal Television Society Journalism Awards in 2013. [14]

In view of the programme's content, a warning about "graphic discussion of rape and murder" was aired in the continuity announcement at the start of this edition; unusually, this warning was repeated after the first commercial break before the programme continued.
137"Exposure Update: The Jimmy Savile Investigation"21 November 2012 (2012-11-21)

Mark Williams-Thomas revisits his investigation into Jimmy Savile, which dominated the news in the weeks after it was broadcast. Set against a backdrop of the criminal and institutional investigations which had been launched in the intervening seven weeks, this programme features testimony from more victims and explores how Savile ingratiated himself with politicians and royalty. [15] It also considers the question of how Savile was able to gain widespread access and power within NHS institutions, in spite of being unqualified for any of the roles which he purportedly fulfilled there. [16]

The programme considers why charges were not brought against Savile after he was interviewed by Surrey Police in 2009; Williams-Thomas declares "for the record" during this segment of the programme that he used to work for the force.

This programme was broadcast shortly after Kuenssberg had departed ITN to rejoin the BBC, [20] but she made appearances on ITV News bulletins throughout the day, trailing the edition.

TBATBA"Britain's Secret Slaves"22 January 2015 (2015-01-22)

ITV News presenter Julie Etchingham fronts an investigation into forced domestic servitude.

It also considers how changes to visa rules, designed to toughen the immigration system, could be responsible for trapping victims in slave-like conditions [23] and features an undercover sting on a recruitment agency which promises non-existent jobs to foreign domestic workers in return for a fee. The culmination of the sting sees a producer on the programme confront the woman who had been secretly filmed.

This edition was produced by Hardcash Productions.

Some senior military figures involved in the operations defend their use and effectiveness, while other analysts suggest they hampered efforts to negotiate an end to the conflicts - perhaps even improving the gene pool of insurgent fighters, making them more difficult to defeat militarily. [25]
