Technically this would be my dream job but I reckon it's actually hell on earth, listening to Lagana et Al.

On paper it sounds amazing, being involved with something that you love so much, and getting to be a part of the writing staff, seeing how it all goes down and that.

But when you read a little closer:

these are the **** but essential jobs anyone trying to break into the media industry has to do. Runner positions as they are called are generally around to be a dogs body and in England ends up making a sh!t load of tea. If I was in america and had a valid driving license etc I would have applied for this a few years back. Its always best to take these rubbish jobs somewhere you know a lot about the company and its history as the only way to move up / get another better job is to impress someone you work with or be there long enough to impress a fan of theres elsewhere.
