24 Hours With… TV director Sally Aitken
24 Hours With… spotlights the working day of some of the most interesting people in Mumbrella’s world. Today we speak with Sally Aitken, television director for ABC series Streets of Your Town, hosted by Tim ‘Rosso’ Ross.
5:00am Shit. I’ve slept in. Then remember I’m in Perth but on Sydney time. Pl-en-ty of time. Four hours before we roll camera on the first day of our 25-day shoot – which is for a show called The Streets of Your Town – a prime time series for the ABC on Australian homes. Or, as I like to think of it, a free sticky-beak into some of the best backyards in the country.
8:10am Shit. Half running down the hotel corridor while trying to put on one shoe and jam water bottle and shooting notes into my backpack. How is it possible to be late to meet the crew when I was up so early? I blame the baby. (I’m pregnant with my third child).
Honestly, the best thing I’ve seen on TV for years – intelligent, informative, thought-provoking and entertaining. The fact it was followed last Tuesday by the Mambo story made it a pretty perfect night’s viewing.
Streets of your Town is great! Totally engaging to learn about the history of houses in Australia.
