  4. 04She highlighted Bad Wolf's upcoming period drama 'The Other Bennet Sister', based on Janice Hadlow's novel.
  5. 05Tranter declined to answer questions about 'Doctor Who', whose future at the BBC is uncertain after Disney+ left as co-financier.

02Why it matters

This matters because Tranter's career offers a blueprint for taking creative risks in a volatile TV market, and her advocacy for diverse, empathetic storytelling resonates amid industry debates about inclusion and sustainability.
