This week we have, Emilea Bagstaff, a fantastic, up and coming, Production Coordinator. Some of Emilea’s credits include Bafta award winning Documentary, Ambulance, and new doc for Discovery -  Britain’s Deadliest.  
Arguably, Production Coordinators are the backbone of any tv production, but the intricacies of what’s involved spans further than any spreadsheet, regardless of how good it is, which Emilea discusses here and anyone looking to make the jump to Production Co-ord, will find this conversation useful.

Claire's impressive rostra of credits from the likes of SAS: Who Dares Wins, The Apprentice, The Traitors and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, means she is the perfect person to give us the heads up on what it really takes to be a Task Producer and the tips and tricks involved to succeed in the role.
