Our friends at BBC Drama are sharing a fantastic opportunity – please see below:
BBC Drama, supported by BBC Studios & Directors UK, is pleased to announce the latest round of their BBC new directors’ training scheme. We are now inviting applications from directors to apply for Doctors. We are looking for directors who are passionate about the show they are applying for. Consequently, candidates should be able to show a solid knowledge of their chosen show if they are invited to interview.
As part of their training, successful candidates will receive a full credit on one episode of the drama. If the director has shown that they can meet the standards required, the show aims to hire them within nine months for a full directorial commission. It is our ambition that this will be the first step of an ongoing partnership with each of these directors; and, as their careers develop, so will their relationship with the BBC and the wider television drama community.
