Be inspired by the creator of international smash-hit Come Dine With Me and learn how to format your own shows.

Nell Butler, Executive Producer at ITV Studios and the brains behind Come Dine With Me will get your creative juices flowing by explaining how she comes up with killer formats and just how she knew watching four strangers cook dinner would be such addictive viewing.  Then, working in a group alongside other RTS Futures members and assisted by a professional development executive, expert creative coach Linda Green from the BBC Academy will teach you how to work through the stages of creating your own format as you develop a brand new show against the clock!  Your ideas will be judged and the winning group will receive a day’s creative workshop courtesy of the BBC Academy.
