David Glover on Commissioning

[Caroline Cawley]

The science commissioning editor is out to prove C4’s scientific credentials by backing shows that educate, entertain and get - sometimes quite literally - under your skin.

How to pitch to… David Glover

Do

- Email and chase me up- if I don’t respond, it’s not necessarily due to a lack of interest, but because I’m snowed under. Talk to my assistant, Sagina.
- Suggest presenters
- Think ‘only C4 would do this’

Don’t

- Think small scale - no one-off films about reasonably interesting discoveries
- Pitch to a science strand - there isn’t one
- Pitch anything you wouldn’t really like to make
- Be cynical about it all
