This is The Guardian.
Today, the crisis in the UK TV industry.
So if you imagine me, I'm kind of 21 at the time,
I'm in Newquay and I'm wading into the sea and I'm trying to wave down surfers and ask them,

Will you come and talk to us about it?
Steph Loughry is a TV producer who's worked on some of the UK's biggest programs.
It all started with embarrassing bodies.
I keep my sock on when I shower and then change it without looking.
The hit show where people too shy to go to the doctors would instead bear all for a diagnosis on Channel 4.
I went in as a runner for two weeks' work experience.
It blew my mind, sort of, wide open as to, wow, this is what a job can be.
And I came away from that and was like, oh, no, this is what I want to do when I graduate.
Steph made her way in the industry, casting children for the classroom of the secret lives of four-year-olds.
Do you want to come to my party?
A sweet home will be there, pizza, pizza will be there.
And the first season of Gogglebox.
On Monday night, Channel 4 uncovered the secret lives of our pet dogs.
Do you know when you go out and you leave me indoors?
Yeah.
