The aim of this group is to help bridge the gap between the professionals and the programme makers by answering questions about how TV works, how experts are found, what you need to do to catch the eye of a TV producer, how to come across well when you're on TV (so that you get booked again!), etc. Plus I'm sure there will be discussions about experts on TV, unusual/inspiring areas of expertise and TV experts in general.

And I can help because I spent 14 years making and developing TV programmes and looking for new talent.  I got my  big break on The Big Breakfast in 1993 and went on to series produce Changing Rooms, Ready Steady Cook and Don’t Get Done Get Dom for BBC1. I've developed, launched & headed up digital and mobile TV channels (London TV for Visit London and Today on 3 Live for 3 mobile) and produced shows ranging from Medical Phone Ins to Topless Darts for 
L!VETV. Click here to see my CV: http://www.findatvexpert.com/CV/CV-8690.htm
