About me
My name is Seb, or 'Mole' to my family and friends. I'm a record collector, occasional DJ, I play guitar and I can make an absolutely delicious Sunday roast.
I studied English Literature and French at Sussex University, and then went on to do a MA in Broadcast Journalism at City University. Having graduated from this, I plunged into the mad and marvellous world of Television, with a few bits of radio, journalism, and digital broadcasting here and there too.
In my professional experience, I've seen Ed Balls in his underpants, I've interviewed people living in a tent city on the Syrian border, I've eaten tripe on BBC regional radio, I've had eggs thrown at me by Brexit protesters, I've hosted a Zoom interview with members of the England football squad, I've walked with therapy alpacas, I made good friends with the most remote GP in the British Isles and Darcey Bussell once winked at me.
I'd love to be in charge of my own development desk at a production company one day, so I'm slowly working my way up there.
