We've got lots of activity going on in TV Bedfordshire land recently! The second week of the Easter Holiday gave volunteer and teacher Toby Eager a real taste of what it would be like working on TV Bedfordshire full time. The guys registered as a Ltd company recently and will soon be having business meetings to gain advice on future trading opportunities when the company grows and when we are producing more programming.
We have been meeting lots of local people over the past few weeks and have a number of exciting projects in the pipeline. Firstly, we filmed at the Cardington Hangars for the first programme in a series of History programmes to be aired in the Autumn. We also filmed a pilot educational programme for GCSE aged students wanting to improve their maths with local Sixth Form maths whizz Jemma Allman (@Jemma_allman).

Our recent meetings have included Shaun Jacues(@shaunjacques), a local comedian and soon-to-be sports presenter for TV Bedfordshire, and Tom Wild, Head of Media at Bedford College. Also the producer of the popular local programme The Rough Cut Sessions, Tom met with us and formed a local partnership with us, offering some great ideas for future programming.
We have also developed a partnership with the RSPCA North Beds branch based at Deepdale Veterinary Centre in Potton where we will be doing a monthly feature on domestic animals in need of rehoming.

The biggest news, however, is that we have now moved premises. We have taken up residence on Bedford High Street and have a wonderful studio base to work from with significant space to film our regular news programme as well as a host of other programming coming to your screens soon. The first programme to be filmed at the new studio will be 'The Beds Book Review', a panel show of literary enthusiasts reviewing books encouraging local people to engage in reading. We are very excited to be based in Bedford but this will not affect our coverage of other areas in Bedfordshire and will continue to feature news and events from around the county.
In our next post we will be featuring profiles of some of our volunteers, new and old, so you can get to know us a little better. We will also be featuring some behind the scenes pics of our move to Bedford High Street Studio.
