There is a schizophrenic quality to life when one day you're a journalist and the next a teacher, or one day a B2B trouble-shooter and the next the executive chair of an archive, debating with librarians the storage of a priceless costume. That last one is still unsolved: we have the original Ram Gopal 'Garuda'costume safely in our collection at Brunel, but we don't have the £10k to conserve and display it in the way advised by specialist costumiers:(
This week, I've been a programme maker, every hour of the current and previous days has gone on honing the BBC Daytime idea that we unexpectedly stumbled on during our ruminations a while back. Tomorrow we have a meeting with Jamie Oliver's producer, Nicola Gooch, at 15, his brilliant restaurant in Old Street. Nicola is an old friend from Six O'Clock Show days, and has been part of the Beeb's commissioning group as well as the brilliant brains behind series like General Hospital. I'm hoping that it will take just one cast of her expert eye over our synopsis, programme format, guest research and costings to spot both the jewels and the dross!
