It’s all kicking off….

Been quite a hectic bank holiday with one thing and another! I am incredibly conscious that my work experience placement with Twofour Development is rapidly approaching so I’ve been booking accommodation, trains & checking that my wardrobe does have something smart in it…(Highly doubtful right now being a poor student. Think I will stand on a roundabout with a placard reading “Hire me ‘cause I need something to wear which is un-creased and not scuffed please!)

In regards to the projects, I have taken the decision to not produce on the Nazi Battleship doc with Jon for the following reasons:

a)      I am growing increasingly aware that I am going to work in factual and factual entertainment programming very soon and I need to keep my experience relevant; history docs are just not on the cards for me although I do watch them from time-to-time

b)      James pitched a wonderful Extraordinary Me story and I was a bit smitten with the idea….

Extraordinary Me was a season of 10x1hr programmes broadcast last year on BBC3, good move channel controller Zai Bennet, and I was raving about them when I first joined this course.

I thought they were, not all of them but the majority, really well done personal stories told unobtrusively and they set a really good tone/pace.

I would now like to help James tell the ‘Extra-ordinary Me’ story of David Follett, the Bionic Man, in such a energetic and enigmatic way.
