Things TV editors say that fill reporters with dread ht @JohnReedwrites
1/ Amazing piece for the Six, I have a few suggestions for Ten.

2/ I liked the way you slowly build it up, but can we put the explosion at the top?

3/ Have you seen the pics that just appeared on twitter/Instagram/snapchat, the editor wants to include them. (Repeat every 15 mins until air)

4/It looks awful there. You and the team must be exhausted. I'd like a recut and live top and tail for later please

5/ The editor would like to include a few more elements but we've got a tight bulletin so if you could make it shorter that would be great.

6/ Where did you say you were again?

7/ Amazing access, such an important story, great to get this exclusively and it looks so dangerous. We were thinking 2'15" duration?

8/ Can you make it feel more Vice newsy?

9/ yes, I know a lot of people have died, but do you have shots with less blood?

10/ Calls desk, asks for editor, producer shouts across office, "I have Clinton Sommerville for you".

11/ We need to make it clear to the viewer that you weren't in danger as you were hiding behind the Humvee while Islamic State shot at you. Perhaps a short script line?

12/ great exclusive last night, hear you've been working on it for weeks. Now, how do we move the story forward today?

13/ Can we have less screaming? (Future title of my autobiography)
