Welcome to Can Productions

Ben's Blog

Hi, I'm Ben. You may remember me from such episodes as Peter Andre: The Next Chapter, episodes 1 to 6. I'm often the guy in the back of shot with a rucksack and clipboard, looking like I shouldn't be there. This has resulted in the production team playing a game of 'Where’s Wally', trying to find me in amongst the crowds.

I work on location, as part of the production team, helping the AP and PD with all things technical and anything to do with the production. The nature of a reality programme means that the surroundings are always changing, which is something I really like about the job. One day we're in Brighton, the next we're in Bognor Regis - well, not quite, but you know what I mean.

Working with CAN has afforded me some really unique experiences; I've been, seen and done things that only this industry can offer. For the last few months I've pretty much been where Peter's been, and that's ranged from Marbella to the MOBOs. It's all been a great experience and I hope to be involved more.

A personal highlight would have to be seeing Mohammed Ali at a charity dinner that Pete went to. I didn't get close enough to meet him in person but just being in his presence and seeing the effect that Ali had on everyone in the room was pretty incredible. It's not every day you get an opportunity like that, and working on Peter's programme offered me just that.
