ITV Orders Trans Child Facility Doc
ITV has greenlit a documentary series exploring the rise and fall of the UK’s only dedicated NHS service for trans children. The Tavistock Centre’s Gender Identity Development Service (Gids) has attracted plenty of headlines over the past few years and The Clinic will probe what happened at the treatment center, which was recently ordered to close – leaving thousands of children in medical limbo. Rogan Productions Scotland is producing. “The Tavistock Gids clinic has been such an important story not just for anyone interested in trans issues, but the wider discussion over recent years around gender,” said EP Mark Hedgecoe. “It has been utterly fascinating to be able to talk to many of those involved, on all sides, and piece together what has happened there over the years.”

Exclusive: BAFTA-winning Uprising producer Rogan Productions and Electric Shadow Company are forging Original Sin, a documentary miniseries exploring South African alleged murderer Gerhard Jansen van Vuuren and his trial.
After allegedly violently murdering his girlfriend Andrea Venter, when she was 25, in front of witnesses and CCTV cameras, and escaping prison twice, van Vuuren evaded the authorities across two continents for years, assumed three different identities and started families with several different women, before he was caught in 2020.
His trial was filmed as part of the doc and sentencing is due next month, while producers gained access to many of the major characters in the case along with reams of archive from both van Vuuren and Venter’s family.
The producers are forging as a mini-series but have the option to craft into a feature film. African producer MultiChoice Studios is also on board and Original Sin is being made in association...
