Week 22

This week in the lecture we looked at how we can develop our ideas and the do’s and don’ts so to say for radio factual. The workshops and seminars were based on furthering our idea and checking that we are on track.

We have decided to stick with Priscilla Biggadike. Her story is a lot more interesting than the fact that she was just the first private hanging at Lincoln Castle. Priscilla was charged for killing her husband, Richard Biggadike, with arsenic. Priscilla, although not guilty, was charged for murder and was hung. She lived with her family and two lodgers, one of which she was having an affair with, his name was Thomas Proctor. Proctor on his own deathbed admitted that it was not Priscilla who killed Richard, but him.

As this is a very story based documentary, we wanted to include radio drama sections as well as factual interviews as we feel it will add more depth, although we are making a lot more work for ourselves I feel as a team we will be able to finish the workload easily.

This week I took part in ION Media which went really well, I took on the role on OB but instead conducted a quiz for the presenters. The show went down a treat and seemed to go really quickly compared to other shows that I have taken part in.
