Episode 4: Directing with Alex Jacob

We’ve chatted to writers, actors and producers - now it’s time to talk about directing! In Episode 4 we’ll be thinking about how to give acting notes to kids, directing mini-music videos and just how many people it takes to puppet a rabbit from Stockport. Our guest this week is Alex Jacob. Alex has directed on a multitude of shows, including Casualty, Doctors, Hollyoaks and Moving On. When it comes to kids’ content, he’s directed episodes of Tracy Beaker spin-off The Dumping Ground, the rap-filled-comedy 4 O’Clock Club (both CBBC), and the brand new Channel 5 preschool show, The World According to Grandpa. For context - we recorded this episode the week that ‘My Mum Tracy Beaker’ came out on CBBC/iPlayer.We hope you’ve enjoyed the series so far - if you have, it would be lovely to hear from you!
