The last 18 months has seen me senior produce the recent I'm a Celeb South Africa series. In this role I developed the new I'm A Celeb format, trials and challenges, went on to producing on location and edit producing the series. Taking a beloved series, giving it a new twist and seeing it through from start to finish was a real honour.
I have also developed new ideas for the upcoming 20th series of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. And I have recently senior produced a pilot for the BBC where I had to develop, produce and edit produced a range of studio games.
My career to date has forked into three paths: Game/Task Producer, Edit/Story Producer and Development Producer.
Games/Task/Quiz Producer: I started my TV career producing games, tasks and quizzes. I am an ideas person, that has developed new quiz ideas from scratch. And then taken them from the initial development stages right through to the final edit. I am proud of a large range of tasks and challenges I have brought to Britain's TV screens. And I have the skills to make that idea or show a reality. I have produced a wide range of tasks from epic stunts challenges, to brain busting puzzles, to live song and dance numbers, to fun reality-based shows and more. Examples of these are The Courtship for NBC Universal, Dara O'Briain's Family Brain Games for BBC2, Britain's Best Junior Doctors hosted by Jo Brand for BBC2, A Right Royal Quiz hosted by Fern Britton for ITV, Red or Black for ITV, Text Santa for ITV, King of the Nerds for Sky One.
Edit/Story Producer: Going from more entertainment end of the spectrum to the factual end. I have edit produced a number of blue light and access documentaries. These are high story turn over shows where I have to scour the rushes to find the gold amongst them. Then through narration and/or interview make the story understandable, dramatic and engaging. Examples are The Force:Essex and The Force:North East for Sky One, Traffic Cops for Channel 5, Sewermen for Channel 5.
Development Producer: And from the ends of a show to the beginning. Through my 15-year career I have flipped between production and development. I am usually brought in to turn a topline into a working proof of concept, pilot, sizzle or run thru. But over the years have been embedded in a number of development teams where I have run brainstorms, produced snazzy pitch documents and pitched to commissioners.
