The consumer affairs programme I took part in was called "resolved", I chose the role of presenter and I was placed in the script writing team.
My participation in the weeks leading up to the final take of the show was rather limited, although it wasn't through want of trying. I thought I would take this opportunity to inform you of why that was without going into too much detail of my personal life, which was also a contributing factor. .
I was unable to attend the very first meeting for the script writing team, which consisted of Phil, Emilie and myself. This was due to commitments I had previously made with my other unit on the course, the other members of the group were unable to rearrange the meeting time, so unfortunately I missed that very first meeting.
A second meeting was arranged without my knowledge. I only found out that it had occurred on a later date so I missed that one too.
On my request a third meeting was decided on, although there was very little point as the script had been fully written by then.
I waited at the place we had each agreed to meet for around thirty or forty minutes but the others didn't show up so, having no means to contact them, I left. When I saw them a few days later, it transpired that the meeting time we had all agreed on had become inconvenient for one of them, so between each other the had meet two hours earlier without informing me at all.
For the reasons I have just stated, I didn't have nearly enough involvement in the development of the script. I did, however have a small amount of input as I changed areas on my own and then asked Phil if the changes I had made could be written into the final draft. For example I exchanged words I thought were inappropriate for the audience and programme we were making, from this;.
We've had a plethora of call about this .

We've had so many calls about this .
I also split up the interview between "Claire" and myself.
