Careers in media

When shows like EastEnders, Strictly, or Springwatch appear on our tellies, we only see the people in front of the cameras.They could be actors and presenters, extras, or in the case of Springwatch, a crew member who may pop into shot. But the faces on screen are just a few members of the small armies who work long days to bring your favourite programmes to you.
