They were essentially given £10 million a year to spend on schools television and left to get on and spend it. Their job carried a modest glamour, a generous salary, and a sense of virtue that Paul and his friend were helping to educate the nation’s children while providing schoolteachers with resources that would make their lives easier and more satisfying.
They implemented all the genres of television that educate, entertain, and inform the general population, and put them to use for the benefit of teachers and their pupils.
In autumn 1999, Paul moved sideways to a post-commissioning project for schools in the new computer-based media, and his friend took over his position. They still worked together.
His friend added, “Throughout the years of our collaboration, we never forgot how fortunate we were to be doing the job, even when the pressure of work was intense, and even when, as once or twice happened, we got angry with each other.”
Paul also worked as Commissioning Editor for Teachers TV. According to Glassdoor, the commissioning editor in Channel 4 made nearly £85136 in London.
Before that, he worked as an English teacher.
