<br />
Here are my highlights from the most recent issue of Broadcast magazine (31/05/13):<br />
<br />
1) BBC2 "has commissioned Outline Productions to make 6x30-minutes series <em>Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Grub</em> which will be fronted by the two-time Michelin-starred chef. He will reveal how to cook the best pub food using the receipes from his own drinking establishment, The Hand & Flowers in Marlow."<br />
<br />
2). In a Comment Piece, Broadcaster Roger Bolton believes that religious content that poses the big questions "will always attract an audience." Because they can "create spaces where everyone can reflect on the meaning on life", whether or not you're a believer.<br />
<br />
3. LA is becoming a 'hot destination for UK factual indies', according to Zig Zag Production's international TV exec, Leila Monks. The US market knows what it wants and makes decisions quickly. And "since US factual is still very much focused on characters ... do not pitch anything without tape. Nothing beats showing a 60-seconds sizzle that will blow their socks off."Claire Richmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12643316057847507835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794759039805465266.post-58599788224667717382013-05-29T01:52:00.000-07:002013-05-29T01:52:15.509-07:00BBC Academy's Expert Women's Day in ScotlandThe BBC Academy - in conjunction with BBC Scotland - is holding a free

<br />
You might think that mathematical breakthroughs don't hit the news very often, but earlier this year a new prime number was discovered, the biggest ever with around 13 million digits! This appeared on a few online news sites but I thought it deserved TV or radio coverage, with a mathematician talking about it, ie me. I asked Claire (TV producer and founder of <a href="http://www.findatvexpert.com/">www.findaTVexpert.com</a>), and she said I should definitely BE PROACTIVE. She advised me to write to the Today programme, BBC news, Sky news, and Woman's Hour. She said to keep it short, say why I thought it would interest their audience, and include a link to <a href="http://www.findatvexpert.com/tvexpert/eugenia-cheng-snr-lecturer-pure-mathematics-9586.htm" target="_blank">my Find a TV Expert profile.</a><br />
<br />
I sent these off at about 10pm on a Thursday evening. I got a call from Sky News at lunchtime the next day and half an hour later I was on my way to a live interview on the evening news! Fired up by how well this went, I did it again two weeks later when I heard an item on Today about under-achievement of British children at maths. I sent my email to the same four places, and Sky News responded again: this time within an hour, and I was booked for a live interview on the lunchtime news. My third attempt was when a report was published saying only 6% of UK maths professors are female. This time it was Woman's Hour who responded, and I was interviewed on the programme this week.<br />
<br />
That makes a three out of three hit rate I've had by following Claire's advice to be proactive! And you don't have to be Einstein to work out that's 100%... The producers at Sky News and Woman's Hour have said how pleased they are that I contacted them, and that they're keen to have back. So I think the message is clear: be proactive - it works!Claire Richmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12643316057847507835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794759039805465266.post-16745175625163447792013-03-21T08:34:00.000-07:002013-03-26T01:57:23.105-07:00Free BBC Media Training Day for Female Experts in the NorthfindaTVexpert is helping the BBC Academy search for female experts who want to take part in television and radio programmes that are made in the North of England. <br />

studio interviews or ongoing development projects - they'll put together
a list of potential experts and start making calls. How you come
across in that phone call will determine whether or not you go through
to the next 'phase'. <br /><br />Think of it as your first interview. It's as simple as that. They've clearly read your
details somewhere (on <a href="http://www.findatvexpert.com/" target="_blank">findaTVexpert</a>, on your website, on google, etc) and it's
now down to your personality. <br /><br />So as soon as you know that it's a TV
production company on the end of the line, lose your formal, 'telephone' voice. Put a smile in your voice and
answer the questions as succinctly, passionately and enthusiastically
as you can.<br /><br />And if they've caught you at a really bad time, let them
know in the nicest way possible. Then take a phone number and agree when
to call them back. That phone call could get you on TV. So make it
work for you.Claire Richmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12643316057847507835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794759039805465266.post-960119335953674392012-09-23T01:45:00.001-07:002012-09-23T01:45:31.522-07:00Expert Testimonial: Kate Faulkner<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">"Thanks

findatvexpert.com! It's a well-deserved celebration. The genius
of this website is that everyone on it wants to be on the telly, so
as a programme-maker, I can by-pass all those long, pointless
conversations trying to persuade someone to appear on camera. The
showreels mean I can see whether someone has what it takes before you
even make contact. And thanks to Claire's brilliant service and
genuine TV experience, all the experts know what being on TV entails,
they know what will be expected of them, and they want to do a good
job. Congratulations on a successful first 4 years."<br /></em></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #333333;"><b><b><em><br />Barbara
