So ~22% of UK TV leaders are privately educated (3x the national average). As a freelancer who grafted my way in from a working class background, it stings. The industry needs to do much better. #tv #freelance #industry #postsky #screen #UK #class

The four timelines of Building Britain's Superhomes S2 (10pm, Wednesdays on Channel 4). As Lead Editor, there was lots of problem-solving under pressure, but seeing Ep 1 on Gogglebox was a cool end to my work with Gosh TV. #TVEditor #PostSky #BuildingBritainsSuperhomes #OfflineEditor #Gogglebox

Tested positive for COVID after a crazy few weeks of long days. It reminds me of the importance of recognising burnout. Especially as studies show stress can weaken the immune system. How do you prioritize well-being during busy periods? #Burnout #FreelanceLife #TVEditor #WorkLifeBalance #PostSky

I'm wrapping up a new series for Channel 4, and it's got me thinking about the post facility.

Editors, Assistants, Producers...let's dream big! ✨ If you were to start the perfect post-production house, what would it have? 🤔 #PostProduction #FreelanceLife #TVIndustry #TVEditor #PostSky #Freelance

It's heartbreaking to see the devastation in LA. SoCal holds a special place in my heart, and it's awful to know some places we've visited and loved are now gone. Thoughts and hugs to everyone affected, especially those who have lost their homes or been forced to evacuate.

Taking some much-needed time off from Friday onwards after a busy year. I know how fortunate I've been to have had consistent work, but because of being freelance, it means it's hard to fully disconnect. How do others handle this? #FreelanceLife #TVEditor #PostSky #WorkLifeBalance #Freelance

This week in TV history marks the anniversary of MTV's airing of Nirvana's 'Unplugged' set in New York on December 16, 1993—a performance widely considered one of their most memorable. #history #music #tv #mtv #90s #twih #postsky

Is a career in one role in factual TV becoming a thing of the past as budgets and opportunities disappear?

I've heard of editors moonlighting in other roles and execs testing the waters by having us self-producing or VO writing. Is this a UK thing or international? #tv #editor #postsky #postchat

The first cut of my latest show for Channel 4 (UK) returned with very few notes this week. Incredible. Three eps to go, hopefully more of the same. But it got me thinking, what's the craziest note you've had on an edit? #postchat #editor #tv #film

Really enjoying the #PostChat community sprouting up here. Will follow back any TV & Film folks! #tv #film #editor

I'm a TV editor in the UK looking to increase my followers here after leaving Twitter. How's everyone doing after this long year of a week?!

Any fellow TV/film editors out there? #tv #editor #film #entertainment #professionals

Enjoying Bluesky's familiar UI over Threads. Not sure if it's better or I'm just nostalgic.
