Working In TV Jack Cuthbert

Welcome to Episode 7 of Working In TV.

This week I've selected some clips from our first 6 episodes to help showcase how we as people working in a creative industry feel about our careers and how we are or are not supported currently by the government.

With the recent talk around "Unviable" industries and how people have been told to retrain away from those industries I thought it would be best to try and show the passion we have for this career and that it isn't just a hobby and it is a valid and important thing that we do.

Anyway, next week we will be back as usual. So see you then.

Cheers

Welcome to Episode 6 of Working In TV.

This week we have a brilliant guest Lydia Currie talking to us about her career as a First Assistant Director.

Really enjoyed talking to Lydia because not only is she one of the best AD's working today but shes also a really nice and fun person to talk to. 

Lydia has worked on so many of the best TV shows of the last 20 years. A few highlights include Black Mirror, Liar, Avenue 5, 24, Friday Night Dinner, Rev, Ashes to Ashes and Hustle just to name a few.

Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did recording it and remember to rate us and Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Welcome to Episode #5 of Working In TV.

This week we have a brilliant guest Beth Bacon talking to us about her career so far as a RUNNER.

It was very interesting talking to Beth about all things Running, as I used to be a runner. We talked about what she'd done so far, issues about getting started and how the industry has changed since I started out as a Runner.

We also talked about her experiences on Taskmaster, The Great British Urine test and how she had to get people to be involved with the study by street casting.

We touched on her experience lately working as a Covid-19 Runner and what that involves and how it is affecting production up and down the country right now. 

I want to thank Beth for coming on to the podcast and talking to me about her career. It can be daunting when you are starting out to talk to someone like me about their experiences and committing their words to a podcast like this, So thanks Beth.

I hope you enjoy this episode and that you'll join us again next week for another interview.

Until then

Welcome to Episode #4 of Working In TV.

This week we have a brilliant guest Emily Fisher talking to us about her career as a Special Effects Technician.

Really enjoyed talking to Emily as she's a friend of mine since we both worked together on Alex Rider for the Amazon Prime series. She also had a very interesting and exciting career working in the SFX department.

We talked about her work on The Crown, Alex Rider, Relic and the film that she would have loved to work on. 

Emily is another example of someone starting out in one department then moving to a very different one. remember wherever you start out in TV keep your eyes and ears open and maybe you'll become interested in another job or department.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the episode and please remember to rate and subscribe and share us with your friends!

Until next week

Welcome to Episode 3 of Working In TV.

This week we have a brilliant guest James Kenning talking to us about his career as a Sound Recordist.

Really enjoyed talking to James as he's done so many different kids of TV shows. We worked together a few years ago and through our mutual love of moaning and football we've kept in touch ever since. 

He is genuinely one of the nicest guys in TV and I found it very interesting to hear what he had to say about the industry and all the problems and issues people face in finding work and keeping going.

We talked about the forgotten LTD campaign you can read some more about that cause here : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53028015
