Why we asked Chris to be a Talkshow Associate

Talkshow’s Managing Director, Jonathan Halls, first met Chris at BBC Training when he was running the BBC’s Production Training department.  Chris was working in the TV Producing and Directing Unit.

Jonathan says that Chris Tandy kept getting great feedback from attendees.  And trainees went on to produce great television. 

“That’s what training is about,” Halls says.  We don’t run courses for fun – they have to translate into skills and performance that help clients to do their job better. 

“Chris does just that – he’s highly professional as well as sensitive to the learning pace and needs of the people he’s working with." 

“After a week with Chris and his colleagues, I’ve seen novices go out the following Monday and direct live TV.”
