A popular Scottish football show has entered the transfer market as it looks to recruit a new creative producer.
The role on A View From The Terrace, BBC’s long-running fan-led football programme, has been described as a “dream job” for any football fan, with a passion for the beautiful game the main requirement.
The new recruit will be based in production company Studio Something’s office in Edinburgh, with tasks including coming up with new segments for the studio, devising guest lists, and researching stories to showcase in the 'wee films' for the show’s sixth season.
Executive producer Ian Greenhill said: “Scottish football has one of the most passionate fan bases in the sport – so we’d be daft not to put passion high on the list when it comes to finding the right person to join our team.
“A View From The Terrace is the show that picks apart, plays with and proudly loves Scottish football, from the top to the bottom, from the elite to the grassroots. And we’re able to do that by having a team of people who just really love the game.
“This is a show starring fans and made by fans, so if you are more Martindale than Martinez, more Porto than Petrodollars, and enjoy seeing someone get their ball stuck in a Brechin hedge, this is the dream gig.”
Job requirements include a ‘passion and knowledge of Scottish football, from the top to the grassroots and the culture and fandoms around our game’ and ‘burning desire to tell genuine, creative and ambitious stories that talk our game right up’.
A View From The Terrace, which first aired on BBC Scotland in 2018, has struck a chord with fans, building a cult following for its unique take on our game, from films about sheep excrement on pitches in Eriskay to earworms about Partick T.H.I.S.T.L.E.
The show, which will return in September, boasts a cast of Scottish football fans who fight, bicker, and entertain a growing audience for 20 weeks of the season on BBC Scotland and iPlayer.
