Tell me about it. I get paid quite well when working - but nothing at all when not. Of course a 'headline' in a paper would give the annual amount if working 24/7 - rather like they did with plumbers a couple of years ago.

And since I mainly work for ITV I'm looking at a lean year ahead.

I think that a lot of it is down to the producer. There was an episode of DIY SOS where they deconstructed their own style somewhat, and the important term is" jeopardy". You can't go into the adverts without it. ;-)

Not as bad as the "New Series" of "one hour" programmes that consist of 40 mins repeat, 5 mins new footage "revisiting" and 15mins advertising.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Man at B&Q" saying something like:

When GD does that, I just watch the last ten minutes of it, assuming it's a project house I was interested in from seeing it first time round.
