For 15 years, Irish-catholic trouser maker Patrick Michael Kevin Aloysius Brendan Kelly has been working for Emanuelle (Manny) Cohen, a Jewish jacket maker, in their back-street workroom in Whitechapel in the East End of London. Fortunately I have never been given the run around by recruiters in terms of mismatching my skills, experience and aspirations, but I can see why many people have been. The charter and the relationship with the BBC Trust say that we should do 110 hours; so we’re actually making more — and that’s without taking into consideration programmes that ‘double-tick’, as it were, which maybe cover current affairs and religion, or art and religion, and so on. Last year, we had 164 hours of religious programming on BBCs 1, 2, 3, and 4 — the vast majority of that, 138, on BBCs 1 and 2. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

Each movie version of a British sitcom had wide angle cameras and depressing outdoor scenes to moviefy something that should not be moviefied! As you prepare yourself and your teams for winter, is quality something that is at the forefront of your thinking? First, Mr Ahmed was appointed to not one but two posts: head of religion and commissioning editor for TV. He describes this period as “one of happiest times of my working career: they were some great people to work with, and that’s the key to this: it’s not about yourself as an individual; it’s who you’re working with. He agreed partly, per­haps, because there are occasions in the BBC when you don’t argue with people’s sugges­tions.

Then the two decide to combine forces and form a partnership, recognising that each needs the others skill. But if you come from a religious background, whether you’re a Christian, Muslim or a Jew, you understand there’s an obligation, as well, to help people. If they really are leaders then they generously share their learning and experience with their teams.

Going over their specific requirements, stated at the beginning of the assignment, reviewing the candidates already submitted, and reassuring them that they represent the best individuals for interview.Frank reunites with old Joe, crazy Marvin and wily Victoria to uncover a massive conspiracy that threatens their lives. I think people in the industry found it quite bizarre, the fixation on one aspect of the job, when it’s the other job that actually has the strategy, the direction, the commissioning power, the money, etc. The next time you’re faced with a particularly brutal challenge, perhaps ask yourself what you may learn from it. It’s all very well to have an opinion about what Channel Four and Channel Five are doing, but they have to make a living.

Coat-maker Manny is Jewish, while Patrick - who takes care of the trousers - is an Irish Catholic still yearning for his homeland. Once on the job, Kane must also deal with a young sharpshooter named Billy Young and a sharp and sassy saloon dancer, Lily. These are the pilot, five of the six episodes from Series 1, and five of the six episodes from Series 2. How then do manage in a difficult almost impossible situation, where resources are dwindling and all the ‘lifejackets’ have been taken?A total of 40 episodes were made; along with a mini episode that was featured in ITV's All Star Comedy Carnival in 1969. Although I believe it was created for a TV sitcom, the phrase ‘Never Mind The Quality…Feel The Width’ has long been used as an expression signifying quantity over quality. In other departments, the posts are usually separate, and it is the commissioning editor who holds most of the cards.
