I predicted a riot:
- Remember that 12 Yard creative trainee job we highlighted the other week? Well some of our readers got interviews! And the comment that sticks out is that “it didn’t pay enough to live on,” although no numbers were mentioned (this is THE REALITY OF REALITY). So I think we should play a game, I’ll start counting up in thousands, and helpfully someone from 12 Yard can shout STOP! when we get to about the right amount. Or not.
- Fans of EXTREME MASCULINITY should be very excited, this appears to be Stuart Baggs The Brand’ s Twitter. May or may not include The Apprentice spoilers.
- For some reason I was involved in some sort of Twitter run-in this morning with @MipcomTV which I largely suspect isn’t much to do with the Mipcom TV convention held every year and does appear to be the mouthpiece of TTT Entertainment run by Tony Dortie, off of Top of the Pops. What mainly caught my eye was the blurb 7$teps ‘Celebs can make you rich!’ which appears to be being worked on for Channel 5. It is also apparently 2011’s hottest new show. Here is the pitch film, judge for yourself. They were also very keen to advertise TXTC which appears to be a text based quiz apparently popular in Greece and produced by 2waytraffic that claims to be unlike old-fashioned shows despite apparently looking the same as much produced in the last 10 years. Anyway, here’s the info page, I will let you draw your own conclusions and wish the venture the best of luck.
Apparently the phone number on the website linked to the Twitter account goes through to the man himself……
“So I think we should play a game, I’ll start counting up in thousands, and helpfully someone from 12 Yard can shout STOP! when we get to about the right amount. Or not.”
The Alex of 2009 just guffawed.
The ‘X’ appeared in front of me and klaxon sounded at £14,000 for me back for the same job position back in 2005.
I doubt it is any higher 5 years on…
Significantly higher this time around; it’s the starter rate paid by most TV companies…
Although when I came onto the job in 2007 at much the same rate as you were quoted!
Confirmed on Digiguide and from The Beast himself. The Chase returns for a new series from Monday 3rd January.
Nice one, cheers Travis.
Ooh, January’s a bit swift, in’t it? Still, though. Nice to see it so soon.
That was the plan anyway to have the third series to air around January/February. Apparently there are whispers that ITV are going ahead with a fourth series to be recorded/shown later in 2011 (possibly the summer).
Has Divided been axed? I noticed it is no longer listed on itv.com list of shows but The Chase still is.
