Journal post...

When the New Year alone came in I decided that this would be the year that I would begin to keep a diary.

At the end of the show we managed to get talking to the assistant producer, nicknamed 'Rocket'. His story as to how he achieved his career today was so compelling. It really gets you thinking about all the networking and persistency this career takes. I gained a contact there, but even me with my basic knowledge knows that everything in TV is a long shot....
