Tricia was Mayfly Television's Line Producer on Phil Spencer's Stately Homes (3rd series of our features series for More4 / Channel 4) and No Strings (Channel 4 'Comedy Blaps' pilot during same period; the below is based on around 10 months working together.

Tricia has been an amazing Line Producer and all round a hugely valuable member of our very small team; amazing is an overused superlative but Tricia really was amazing in the way she totally owned every practical, financial and logistical aspect of production, handled all the channel Business Affairs, HR and was kind enough to offer her support to the general organisation of the company - during some challenging times as we endeavoured to produce the same high quality work as previous series but on a reduced budget.

We are a very small team of people who are highly committed and prepared to give everything we've got to deliver - but none more than Tricia, who absolutely lived and breathed our production and took total personal responsibility for everything in her remit.

In terms of how we worked: Other than for a few key pre production meetings Tricia mostly worked from home - as did I (must have been ahead of the Corona curve..) but whether in pre production locking tricky contracts and a slippery schedule, and during the very demanding shoot and extremely tight post production schedule, Tricia was a constant presence from her base, facilitating everything from contracts to crew to call sheets to team communication (with some sensitive issues handled very deftly) schedule (constantly shifting with some last minute access curve balls), and the daunting paperwork of delivering an archive and IP heavy show to channel on time - and ON BUDGET!.

Channel budget cuts affect every aspect of production directly and put us all under great pressure - so I am truly indebted to Tricia for going the extra mile week after week, almost single handedly, to providing the editorial team with the huge and vital support we needed to deliver.

I'd highly recommend Tricia to anyone gearing up for any production facing the same challenges - which I fear is nearly everyone right now!

I'm happy to give a phone reference as required. Please liaise with Tricia to put us in touch.

All very best, Marcus Stephenson Creative Director and Owner, Mayfly Television & Executive Producer of Phil Spencer's Stately Homes
