Two great opportunities to share with you today!

Do you want a behind-the-scenes look at how a TV show is put together? Channel 4 are currently filming a new prime-time show on Magic & Illusions and require participants to take part in one of the amazing tricks planned for this Saturday 9^th March! Sounds like fun but also a great opportunity to see how a TV show is filmed.  If you’re interested email magic@magnumtv.co.uk  or call Tiffany Moore on 0207 151 0131

If magic isn’t your thing, how about being a Blue Peter presenter? Come on, who hasn’t fancied a go at that!? Later this year the BBC will be running  an original new series, So You Think You Can Be A Blue Peter Presenter, where some of the country’s best new presenting talent will compete to join Barney Harwood and Helen Skelton as the third member of the Blue Peter gang.  In a first for the world’s longest-running children’s TV show, the next lucky presenter to join the Blue Peter team will compete through challenge-based heats to reach a final where the winner will be chosen by the CBBC audience.  Click here for more info and details of  how to apply.  If you make it through, I want a BP badge!
