Hello! Regarding the US create and craft... I have not worked on this and it started after I had left. However, I have just looked on their website. It seems that the shows are done in the UK studio, as currently Dave Bradford is presenting, and the graphics are all american. Dave Bradford is...

Hi Jason, They are most definitely library tracks but no idea what they are called I am afraid. I have kind of answered the sets question in another answer, but to clarify.. There are no permanent "sets" at all. They are 5 areas in each studio. One studio for create and craft and one for ideal...

Thank you. That means a great deal. It is quite ironic that I came on here to answer peoples sceptical comments. Yet when they hear the truth, as boring as it is, i must be an insider trying to blow smoke up ideal worlds rear end.. When in fact, the questions they are asking have the same...

The cooking shows are completely as it seems. None of it is faked or covered in motor oil etc, as some big brands do on their promotional material. Ideal World hire in Food preparation staff on a freelance basis. They are there most days shopping for and prepping food for shows. Unfortunately...

Sorry, ive been busy for a couple of days! so sorry for the late reply. There is of course an xmas party. Some presenters do not go, but most do. It's a pretty wild night in peterborough. haha. Nothing any different to any other xmas party. Yates', for cheap drink, followed by a club. :)

Unfortunately it's quite a boring and simple answer. They sell well. And it keeps the costs down as they already have all the props for the demos. The bigger the variety, the more props they need, the bigger the backstage area would need to be to store them. The bigger the area needs to be to...

Thank you. That means a lot. :)

Hello. Thanks for the appreciation. Not a problem answering these questions as best I can.. 1. Presenter line ups are pretty much chosen due to their target market. Unless there's been a massive a scheduling error, you would not expect to see the slapstick comedy guys presenting a laser hair...

Nicest presenters are incredibly easy. Sean is a lovely person, who has time for everyone. He started off as a floor manager years ago, so knows the struggles of the backstage teams. He has a lot of time for all the new crew. Debbie Shore also very nice. Easy to get along with, and a...

Right then. Let's try again. Take out the big paragraphs. Take out all the padding in the messages. Ask me a series of one sentence questions, and I'll answer them. That's then up to you whether you say I'm not telling the truth. But let's try one last time. Ask me a series of DIRECT QUESTIONS...

I've never been a member or posted on here before. I suppose I'll also get burnt on the cross for this being blatant BS too..?

Hi Craftalot. Thanks for asking a sensible question.... There are a few reasons why the camera work looks so blurry. Shopping television is where most people start work behind the scenes of television after uni etc. Therefore, they have little to no experience. In comparison to a place like...

I'll send you my CV shall I..? Ludicrous. Why would anyone lie about working for IW? It's hardly a claim to fame. lol. My CV includes the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, SKY Sports. I'm really going to come onto a forum to lie about my time on Ideal World as a floor manager. lmao.

Look, I really don't get why you guys are getting at..? It literally makes absolutely no sense hinting that im not an "insider" and that I am purely talking BS. That would be absolutely pointless in me being here. It seems to me that you are just looking for answers that are not there. You want...

Ha, straight to the CEO... Good work. lol

Again. I will explain I was working as a floor manager, backstage. Not a company guy at the top bringing presenters into meetings to discuss what they are doing wrong. I said I'd tell things from a TV production point of view. That is what I am doing. A presenter would make a mistake on air. The...

Your kind of comments are the reason I came on here in the first place. Then when you don't get the answers you believe to be true, you stick to your skeptic remarks. Haha. I've got no reason to lie. I don't work there, nor is it my company. I just saw a forum of people talking nonsense about...

If im honest... I really couldn't tell you. IW seem to be making money. From sales figures I heard over talkback, and from what I have seen in the press, they seem to be quite successful, especially in craft. However, as you've said, other channels have gone flop. There's also a lot of rumour...

I see what you're saying, but please refer to the very first post where I said what kind of questions it would be for. Thanks anyway.

Yes the IW studios and warehouse are in fact the same building. You can literally walk from the studio to the warehouse in 10 seconds. Regarding colour options and stock... The stock/warehouse is like a separate department. The warehouse is full of stock ready to be sent out. The television...
