So what is 'The thing about the thing I saw last night' about?

I like tv.

No, forget that I love tv! You could almost say I watch too much of it. 

This week I recently had the pleasure of discussing this passion with several people who work in the television industry at The Network 2013 at the Edinburgh International Television Festival. Pat Younge, a big cheese at the BBC in charge of in-house production, suggested broadening horizons and watching content that you wouldn't normally go for. Kim Shillinglaw, commissioning editor for BBC's science and natural history department (a.k.a. the genius behind 'Penguin: Spy in the Huddle'), suggested that when you are watching something, even something you don't like, consider one thing good about it that you could apply to another show etc. 

In this blog I intend to combine this brilliant advice. Each week (hopefully!) I'll watch a programme that I've never seen before and comment on it here. Not only an exercise in writing and critical thinking but hopefully should expand my knowledge of the industry I so desperately want to be a part of. 

Okay so now the introductions are done I'll hopefully be back next week with a post for you all.
