The day I made a producer beg for mercy...
It鈥檚 not very realistic or achievable, but I want every show I work on to be the best it can possibly be. That means if we have to put in extra hours, do the donkey work and stop at nothing to find the right songs then so be it. It鈥檚 worth it.
All of this can be tough on the production team. However, earlier today I went too far. Today was the first time I made a 主播大秀 producer beg for mercy. Barely able to stand on her shaky legs, she refused to do any more and pleaded, 鈥淪top now Bryan. I am not doing any more鈥 think I鈥檓 going to be sick!鈥
That may sound like what goes on behind the scenes in the studio, but this was in front of the building, not behind closed doors.
Before my reputation ends up in tatters , I should explain that I was doing a good thing. I had volunteered to take Karen, one of Fred鈥檚 producers out for a lunchtime run to help with the training for their four minute mile for Sport Relief.
10 x 100m sprints in the pouring rain is not everyone鈥檚 idea of how to spend your lunch hour but I think Karen enjoyed it. And as I explained to her , thinking you鈥檙e going to be sick and actually being sick are two different things altogether!
You鈥檒l hear more about the Fred team and their challenge to do a four minute mile on tonight鈥檚 show. If you are going to text in then send them an encouraging word along with your sporting anthem.
