Thanks to everyone that joined us for our inaugural Turn On Tune In North<\/strong> event at MediaCityUK<\/strong> in Manchester<\/strong> last week! We had a great turnout at the prestigious OnThe7th<\/strong> members bar to hear from our top industry speakers.<\/p>\n

\"Magaluf

First up, Tom O\u2019Brien<\/strong>, the Co-Creator and Producer of TwoFour\u2019s The Magaluf Weekender<\/em><\/strong>, gave us an insight into the world of structured reality programming; how and when the Producers should intervene to change the direction of a show, how far they should let the on-screen participants go when things get out of hand, and ultimately concluding that what happens organically is often better than anything that could be constructed by the programme makers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Swashbuckle
Swashbuckle Series Producer, Jon Hancock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next up, we had Jon Hancock<\/strong>, Series Producer of hit Cbeebies show Swashbuckle<\/em><\/strong>, labelled as the first physical gameshow for pre-schoolers. Jon discussed the challenges of working with children: bending the rules of the game, looking after the welfare of the players, and making sure there are no losers at the end of the day!<\/p>\n

After our speakers had finished there was a chance for a quick drink and a catch up with the other attendees. Look out for our for next Turn On, Tune In North<\/strong> event on Thursday 12th June<\/strong>, again at MediaCityUK’s OnThe7th<\/strong> bar, where we\u2019ll bring you more top programme makers giving an insight into the secrets behind their success. If you\u2019d like to register your interest, please email info@productionbase.co.uk<\/a> and we\u2019ll make sure you\u2019re invited as soon as registration opens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
