Planning: Content of magazine listings

Below I have written out the content of the double page spread magazine listings which includes programme descriptions, the main article and a Q and A with the presenter.

Feathers of the North
BBC1 Monday
David Attenborough is back diving into researching the unique birds of the North after the snowy Christmas air. The journey begins in Scotland and travels through the Nordic landscapes, between Finland and Iceland. This one off documentary broadcasts on BBC1 and reveals the complex relationship of the birds across the top hemisphere of the globe.


Comedy
E4 Wednesday
‘I am that person pushing pull door and tripping over my shoelaces in the office’. This is Rose Stone’s own story showing her stumble through life and bouncing back from wild relationships and experiences. This six episode series outlines Rose’s life through her diary she received for her 21st birthday.


How long did it take you to film the documentary?

In total the filming for London to Leigh took about two weeks. It took a bit longer than normal because of the location changes and travelling between London and Leigh. The research and production teams were amazing, they set up some really good opportunities for interviews and eye catching spots so we were able to film the footage every day back to back in two weeks.


When did you know you were going to present in this documentary?

Well I didn’t know for that long before we started filming, obviously the economy is changing so rapidly and with a topic like this you cant afford to wait. They wanted me to start straight away and thankfully I was available so I said yes.


Would you consider moving to Leigh as a result of filming this documentary?

I absolutely would consider living in Leigh in a couple of years! Everything in the documentary and in the reviews from the residents is true, its a lovely town, very peaceful and kind. I can understand why Leigh is the chosen place although for now I am not quite ready for a big move!


Did you enjoy getting paid to explore London?

I do love my job and this has got to be one of my favourite projects yet. I get to meet many inspiring people along with going to exciting places. I even get to try different food so I’m not complaining!


What is your next adventure?

Good question. I have a few projects lined up but that’s all I’m saying for now! You’ll have to keep your eyes peeled but the future looks exciting!


Towards the end of the documentary, Cassandra ventures to London gathering information on the South Bank from everyday people and gains the full experience of a life in London. This documentary provides an insight to others lives in an aesthetically pleasing and interesting way which you can’t receive from other platforms. Join Cassandra on her journey through the research and experience of understanding this enigma of why Leigh on sea was voted the happiest place in the country, despite London appearing to have it all.

Cassandra Brown is not the stereotypical presenter but against the odds has become a household name in presenting interesting and thrilling documentaries. London to Leigh is a stand alone documentary guiding you through the pleasant journey of exciting areas to live. Catch her starring in our sister documentary 'Across the country' showcased on Channel 4 and on All 4.
