Breakfast TV will never be the same! Practical Photography editor Andrew James is the star of this week’s CBBC programme ‘Do something different’, in which presenter Mark Rhodes is put through his paces with a camera. 'Do something different' is geared towards helping kids try their hand at something they’ve never done before, and to get out and about and away from their computers! Andrew acted as photography guru and mentor to Mark (of Pop Idol fame), to help him become a budding sports photographer. Mark was given a crash course in the technical aspects of photography, culminating in him taking pictures at the world's most famous tennis venue, Wimbledon Centre Court.
"DSD seemed like a brilliant idea to me,” says Andrew, “a fun way of showing kids that there's more to life than staring at games on a computer. But trying to turn someone who had never used a proper camera into a top-notch photographer in just five days was a real challenge. I don't think I'm likely to be the next Blue Peter presenter, but I did enjoy my experience working in a different area of the media."
The show will be broadcast every morning between 8 and 8.45am on BBC2 from August 6th, and then on BBC2 from 10.55am on Saturday 11th August. Visit www.bbc.co.uk/dsd/ to find out more.
