Television shows are now beginning to adopt “social distancing” on camera as the coronavirus pandemic grips the nation.
For television -which has historically been dependent on a camera ‘two-shot’- this is particularly challenging.
The Drum
While panel shows may be able to be creative in this approach, it’s far more difficult for genres such as Drama and Reality TV.
But not all shows last night had begun to adopt the practice as yet.
Already reeling from a lack of studio audiences, social distancing on screen becomes simply their latest challenge.
Like all of us, they will need some time to adjust to this evolving situation.

Might be time for The Chaser team to bring out their Election Desk if they still have it (2016)
Studio 10 have started this this morning.
Awkward watching how far Steven Quartermaine was from Jennifer Kyte last on Ten News First in Melbourne last night.
Next they’ll do sport from a different studio
Seemed to be somewhat back to usual tonight, someone must have measured what 1.5m was.
Looked like 5m on Wednesday night.
After watching Planet America, I am beginning to believe the way to be an “expert” in American Politics on Australian TV is to have watched a couple of seasons of the West Wing.
I dont think distancing is necessary for panel shows where you work with the same people all the time. You’re already sharing the office with them, the studio doesnt make a difference.
No doubt they’ve also implemented social distancing in their office space.
