UK TV industry facing 'existential crisis' in funding, says Wolf Hall director Peter Kosminsky .

He argues public service broadcasters can no longer afford to make high-end British dramas.

Kosminks calls on government to introduce a 5% levy on UK subscription streaming revenues.

Wolf Hall: The Mirror and The Light was screened by the BBC in November .

Domestic UK programmes accounted for 598 m, down 22% on the previous year .

Kosminsky argues that a levy on the streamers would put the UK in line with some other European countries that use the proceeds to fund domestic content.

But with many streamers based in the US , would the UK government take on Donald Trump's administration?.
