I did not say the programmes were made by accountants. !!
I worked for the Youth & Entertainment Features Dept under Janet Street-Porter (fun times) and then John Whiston.
Snitzy as you are an accountant you probably have no idea of the difference between the word run and made. !!
As for the luvvies comment you were spot on, I found 80 percent of researchers, producers, etc. "Luvvies" (the, we are in television brigade) I was in IT so considered to be riff raff.

So true about the 'We're in TV don't you know' brigade.

As an ex IT worker,
The word run, as in will this computer run my program, means
Flippin eck mate, big job give me a day or two.
And the word made as in you made my computer stop working, means was't me pal I was on holiday at the time. !!
My accountant has used those words before,
think it was, on the lines of hello Mr. accountant how much have I made, ?
Chris you have not paid your VAT bill again, you had better run, Australia looks good. !!
