From APAP to Development: TV Industry with David Campbell

In this episode of 'Getting in TV,’ I’m joined by David Campbell, the creator of the 'Pictures and Patter' podcast, to discuss his journey in the television industry. We delve into the BBC's Assistant Producer Accelerator Programme (APAP), how it benefited both of our careers, and the challenging transition from researcher to assistant producer. David shares his personal career path, including his struggle with law school, teaching, and ultimately finding his passion in TV, emphasising the importance of training programs like APAP and Channel 4's production training scheme in bridging the talent gap. They also touch on the hurdles faced by working-class individuals entering the industry, the significance of development work in TV, and the impact of maintaining personal boundaries and managing stress. The discussion concludes with insights on the Scottish TV industry and advice for aspiring TV professionals. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:42 Discussing the APAP Experience 03:36 David's Career Journey 07:04 Challenges in the TV Industry 09:59 Importance of Training and Schemes 11:15 Balancing Work and Personal Projects 13:44 Passion for Development 19:34 Navigating the Initial Stages of TV Development 20:58 Embracing Rejection and Staying Positive 22:37 Balancing Work and Personal Life 23:19 Advice for Aspiring TV Professionals 26:37 Exploring the Scottish TV Industry 30:36 The Impact of Working on Dragon's Den 32:54 Challenges and Rewards in the TV Industry 35:38 Current TV and Film Recommendations 38:43 Final Thoughts and Farewell SOCIAL Twitter -   / tomdix_   Personal Instagram -   / tomdix_gettingintotv_podcast   Nice photos Instagram -   / tomdixphotography
