Pitching it

Well, Chris and I did the pitch for the honeybee/CCD radio ('Where have all the good bees gone?' could this title work?) programme idea on thursday and it seemed to go well.
Im not sure what to put here as the whole class did a pitch in their respective groups and we all know how hard or easy it was.
I think the way to have done it was to go in their confident and full of passion and try and sell the idea to the panel. Luckily we had some current and ex-BBC staff aswell as Steve May from the uni, oh and Mike.
Chris and I went in there with a general idea of what we were going to say and the plan was for Chris to do general pitch and one sentence pitching and for me, with the full information that I already have on the subject, to back him up and answer any questions.
Chris did get thrown by the question posed to us about whether the show would be presenter led, but I jumped in there to save our bacon by explaining that we would need a presenter but only really in a minimal role as the subject needs someone to explain certain parts of it and also to lead from interviewee to vox pop, etc etc. Basically the presenter would be helping to tie it all together.
All we can do now is wait and see how the show comes out, and if we can get it to fit into a five minute time frame.

Fingers crossed.
