OSCOLA
OSCOLA referencing style is used when submitting work for a module for the School of Law. Due to the complexity of particular sources, some entries are very detailed. Make sure to fully read each page.
This source is not covered by the OSCOLA style manual. Suggestions on this page are modelled on FAQs on the OSCOLA website but have not yet been discussed and approved by the OSCOLA editorial board.
The general principles for ‘other secondary sources’ (section 3.4.1) suggest the following form.
If there is no clear author, give the organisation providing the source as the author.
Footnote standard form
Name of primary contributor - the Director or Producer or Production Company [Role of primary contributor], 'Title of programme' [Television series episode] in Name of producer/s [Producer], Title of series (Additional information if required, Publisher, Year )
If referring to comments by someone in particular, add that information as you would a pinpoint, before the url. Include the person's position if relevant or particularly if the podcast is quite long, would be to provide the minutes and seconds of the excerpt.

Notes
- Information on arrangement of the bibliography.
- List television programmes alphabetically by the first primary contributor's surname.
- Tracing the details needed for a reference after the broadcast can be difficult. The best source of information is TRILT (Television and Radio Index for Learning and Teaching) which gives details of television and radio programmes schedules from 2001 onwards for over 330 different channels plus a substantial selection of terrestrial television programmes back to 1995. The Internet Movie Database is another good source for details.
