After a break, I'm back with a new bunch of interviews and to start off I'm talking to someone who has worked more behind the camera than in front of it.
The podcast is also on Soundcloud, Apple Podcasts and Spotify
I have been in touch with Nic since the early 2010's as Nic worked on some of my favourite shows from my childhood and he has always been happy to answer my questions, tell me great anecdotes and has helped with some of my research for this project for which I am very grateful.
In this chat Nic talks about how his love for No.73 (an 80's Saturday morning show) lead to him a few years later working in television at The Maidstone Studios in Kent. This lead to working for The Media Merchants, working on shows such as Zzzap!, Art Attack and It's a Mystery. Doing everything from making art work to appearing an an extra. As well as when he briefly did some presenting on Quid's In for Channel 4 and Slop's Diner on Telegantic Megavision for CITV.

Since The Media Merchants closed in 2007, Nic worked on other kids art shows Finger Tips and Mister Maker for The Foundation production company.
Since 2016, Nic works for Terrific Television a production company set up by himself and business partner Driana Jones (who also worked on all the same shows I've just mentioned) which is based at The Media Merchants former home of The Maidstone Studios. Terrific TV has produced My World Kitchen and Nick Cope's Popcast for Cbeebies, The Makery for Sky Kids and the third version of HOW for CITV.
