I work for the BBC.....................in my dreams


You should do something about it. Judging from your posts on here, you seem to have really detailed knowledge and a definate interest in the technical operation of television. You certainly seem to have a more detailed knowledge of television operations than some of the people I have met in the industry. What can you lose in trying?

Thanks boring_user_name, for your kind comments, yes I have tried applying before, but I have been put off that they are so far down south and it's so costly in London and of course at the time lacked the commercial experience, I do have two years of it now, and they are moving to Manchester soon, so this perhaps may in turn out into an opportunity to try again if the right position came along.

Wow I'm surprised that you think I know more then the people who already work in the industry Smile, I guess the reason I know so much is because I've watched a lot of television and have just had a passing interest in the workings of the tv industry. I am quite interested in the technical operations, the tranmission side of things, so I take a great deal of interest in noggin's answers for example, of course with a lot of insiders on TV Forum, it helps to gain a further insight into the industry(especially the BBC), so that's I guess where the knowledge comes from.

I haven't given up hoping, but I guess you have to be realistic at the same time and realise that you have to be seriously talented to get in there in the first place.

Anyway thanks again, I hope I haven't bored anybody with my answer.

Humble I know, but I work in the Hospital Radio Broadcasting Industry in Lincolnshire. Hoping for promotion to BBC local radio!


BBC Local Radio only employ people who know how to put on headphones.

More accurately, they should only employ people who remember to tell their guests to put the headphones on!


Or how to walk through revolving doors at the Mailbox, according to recent on air comments/newspaper reports !

Are they looking for a proof reader, by any chance? I could fit it in, Thursday afternoons between three and four.

Surely it's "I'm" with an apostophe and "Chief" with an "ie"?

And perhaps 'Advertiser' with an 's' as opposed to a 'z'..... or do they have a sponsorship deal with the makers of a well known fizzy drink?!

My humble apologiez! I did a Google search and turned up lots of entries for the Oswestry Advertiser, but in hindsight I suppose I should have checked the 'z' spelling too.... although of course Google then asks me if I meant the Oswestry Advertiser Laughing
