Launch Night

Tuesday 5^th June – Big Brother Launch Night – Live Office Runner

Call time: 11 am

Today was launch night. I was really excited to get stuck into the whole atmosphere of launch night. Once I got to the studios I signed out my walk and got to work with my office duties – signing out walkies, doing tea runs and changing bins.

Once I had done all of this it was time for the script run. As it was the launch night it was important that we got all of the schedules, scripts and camera cards out as soon as possible as they were needed for the meeting and rehearsals. Again the copiers kept jamming and we solved the problem my taking a load of paper and a copy of all of the documents down to the Big Brother Bit on the Side (BOTS) offices to use their printers. The script run still took us a long time but by using the printers in BOTS the time it took us to do it was minimized.

I then carried on with my office duties – getting dinner orders and going out to collect them, making sure the office table was stocked up with drinks and snacks for the crew to take as they signed out their walkies and collected their dinner vouchers.

At 9pm the show began and the girl on the early office shift had left. I began tidying up the office – sweeping, changing bins, shredding and putting snack away whilst being able to watch the show in the office.

Once the show had finished all of the crew and runners began making their way back to the Live office to sign walkies back in. Once all the walkies had been signed in it was time to go home.
