Get Me the Producer
TX: Monday 15th October
 
Get Me the Producer is a new six-part series which will take 12 contestants and throw them in the deep end of the demanding world of network television and offer one lucky winner a fantastic opportunity to break into the industry. The contestants will be split into two teams, asked to work within a different television genre each week and challenged to bring their own ideas to life. Each group will be led by a team editor and presided over by former BBC Director General, Greg Dyke, the ultimate judge of the competition.

The fledgling producers will be taken behind the scenes of some of the biggest shows on TV - including GMTV, The Right Stuff and Deal or No Deal - and meet the on-screen and production talent that make them happen. Through a process of elimination, one winner will secure a lucrative year-long contract as a producer at So TV, Graham Norton's production company.

Get Me the Producer will give the viewers an access-all-areas opportunity to share the secrets and surprises that exist within the often not so glamorous world of television.
