About

I was delighted to return as Script Editor for the BBC News IAB Digital Upfronts 2022.

This prestigious event was presented by award-winning BBC News journalist Lucy Hockings at the BBC Radio Theatre in London.

My Role

My role as Script Editor started a month before the live event. I worked with all of the guests to distill their ideas into clear and concise scripts, allowing them to focus on their stage performance.

I was on location for the rehearsals and this is when I wrote the presenter's links. During the live show I was in charge of the final script and liaised with the Autocue operator and show director.

BBC Turns 100

At this year's Upfronts, the BBC marked its centenary by looking ahead to what's next, with a little help from tech expert and BBC Click presenter, Spencer Kelly, 6Music DJ and Radio 4 presenter Lauren Laverne, and sports presenter Gabby Logan.
