Want to find out what it takes to get noticed in the increasingly crowded TV market? Join our panel of experts as they discuss the do’s and don’ts of getting ahead in TV. What does it take to make that next step? Flashy CVs? Over familiar emails? Larger than life personalities or outrageous outfits? And how do you avoid making mistakes that might knock you back a rung or two?
Find out how some of TV’s top names took their first steps. How did they get their foot in the door? What was the pivotal point in their career, from which they’ve never looked back? Hear their first hand tips on how to get noticed including some of the mistakes they made along the way. You can ask the panel any question you like.
TV presenter Rick Edwards (E4, T4 and most recently BBC3’s Free Speech) will be quizzing experts including Suzy Lamb (Head of Entertainment, Thames), Ash Atalla (Producer of The Office), Jonathan Stadlen (founder of Knickerbockerglory TV and the man who brought us Pineapple Dance Studios), and Elsa Sharp (Talent Manager at Dragonfly Film and TV and author of How To Get A Job in Television).
