On Sunday 16th July, The Colour Network will host a talk with Nick Smith, Senior Vice President of Format Production at all3media which aims to deliver valuable advice on how write and pitch an idea for TV.

He has spent time developing formats (part of the BBC Entertainment development team that created Strictly Come Dancing), producing formats (task producer on two series of House of Tiny Tearaways), and the international distribution of formats.
