The Secret History of our Streets' Jaime Taylor, Bang Goes the Theory's Mark Edger and The One Show's Charlotte Denton discuss the essential skills needed to be a researcher for factual TV and the importance of sources, stories and keeping notes. Whichever area of the industry you're in, the ability to research and tell stories is essential, but to get ahead of the rest it's going to take more than a few clicks on a search engine to find the very best material. So, how do you find that surprising fact, that unexpected contributor or winning story that will make your programme unique? Our panel offer their views on how a researcher can make the best of his or her time and on the resources available to get the best for their programmes.
