So, you are serious about developing a career in television and full of ambition to step up to the next level. What are the key attributes required to progress and what core skills should you have in this multi-skilled world of TV?

The expert panel includes Ian Critchley, Independent Talent Consultant, currently at Sony Pictures Television, Charlotte Reid, Executive Producer and Director, Factual Entertainment, Discovery Networks International (Too Ugly for Love, Katie Hopkins: My Fat Story), and Steven D Wright, TV Producer and Broadcast Columnist (Body Language Secrets, How to be Famous, Bush Pilots).

Good research skills are the backbone of TV. As part of the role, researchers develop programme ideas, are fact checkers, find contributors and locations and source archive material. A good researcher can quickly establish rapport with key members of the production team and potential contributors... and become indispensable. The panel is made up of emerging talent in this area who tell it like it is, as well as execs running a team who will offer advice on how to stand out.

Featuring Hannah Keep, Casting Producer/Assistant Producer, The Garden (24 Hours in A&E, Saved), Michelle Matherson, Talent Executive, Shiver (Come Dine with Me, For the Love of Dogs, 56 Up), Joe Smith, Assistant Producer, Blakeway (Dispatches), Neil Smith, Creative Director, Betty TV (Bear’s Wild Weekend with Stephen Fry, Country House Rescue). Chaired by Laura Mansfield. Recorded at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly on 9 May 2015.

The all-important credit you have been aiming for - director. How do you get a production to trust you to take the step up to direct your first hour? There are not as many opportunities out there, with magazine shows on the wane, so it’s tricky to get your first break. Should you stay at one company for a while or is moving around and adding credits the best route? A panel of new and established directors talk to us about their trajectory, key elements to their success, and insight on how they approach their craft.

Featuring Vickie Ager (Desi Rascals), Olly Lambert (Syria: Across the Lines), Steve Smith (The Graham Norton Show), and Marc Williamson (The Last Chance School). Chaired by Emma Morgan. Recorded at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly on 9 May 2015.

Access-led documentaries are all the rage, with viewers hooked to the “behind the scenes” view of airlines, hospitals, magazine houses, retailers, schools and call centers. Producers are now taking it a step further, accessing trickier territories such as a courtroom for a murder trial or dealing with bolder issues such as paedophilia. Creating these shows is about trust and building relationships, with both contributors and institutions. What’s the best approach and what are the challenges? What if a relationship breaks down during the process? How should sensitive or difficult subject matter be handled both during production and on screen?

The panel includes Nick Holt, Olivia Lichtenstein, Dan Reed, and James Rogan. Chaired by Lorraine Heggessey. Recorded at BAFTA 195 on 9 May 2015.
