“I think days like today are really important for students on the media performance course as it really hones in their skills. You can see the different interview styles, techniques and influences each individual has and it’s important for them to be able to express that in front of the camera as it gets them prepared for their future career in the media industry. It’s also great that they have access to speak with guests with careers in which they can aspire to.”

“I think it’s such a unique, interesting course as it covers such a wide range of elements from presenting to directing to researching and it even covers an element of acting for television. And for students to be given the opportunity to interview a guest in front of a live audience with a full television crew and numerable cameras is excellent and something I’ve never seen before at other similar courses.”

“I was so honoured to be asked along to this event – it’s nice to be back in the buzzing university atmosphere and I’m really impressed with the professional way this course is run. As a comic on TV you don’t always get to see what goes on around you during filming, so it’s interesting to see the ins-and-outs of the operation.”

“This is probably the most exciting thing I’ve ever seen – I think all universities should have this platform for students seeking a career in the creative industry. I don’t think students often get this type of experience elsewhere and this course at Bedfordshire gives students essential work experience whilst studying, so I really commend the University for having this television training available. There’s so much to learn here – ten out of ten!”
