Factual or reality filmmakers and TV producers often concentrate on subject areas and issues rather than dramatic and memorable narrative, resulting in a weakened story structure. Consequently programs fail to attract the audience or win any awards. In this book Robert Thirkell, the international consultant known as 'The TV Troubleshooter' and renowned television producer, sets out a professional toolkit for developing compelling storylines in reality programs and films. Based on his popular international C.O.N.F.L.I.C.T seminars, it lifts the lids on the making of leading series such as Kitchen Nightmares, Wife Swap, The Apprentice, Coastguards, Firefighters, Oprah's Big Give, Fat March, Jamie's School Dinners and When Big Chef Met Little Chef as well as offering insight and advice from leading filmmakers and TV producers worldwide. The tips and tools go cover the whole filmmaking process, from finding stories and characters, to structuring scripts and filming, editing, delivery, titles and getting people to watch. 'The recipe book of great television from one of the best TV makers in the world.' Jamie Oliver
