The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Video games, they make you violent you knowI work in the games industry, which despite common misconceptions, can be more than a little prone to drink, drugs, lies, sex, bankruptcy and occassionally some work.
I work for an outfit, who in turn work for a bigass outfit (you can't spell "CHEAP" without their name, ironically) located in the US.
So our working days are spent trying to implement the latest, greatest, buzzword inspired brain fart that our friends across the atlantic have excreted on our desks.
Evenings on the other hand involve varieties of debauchery, culminating in the kind of injuries, reserved for those indulging in a spot of fight club, or maybe some mutual BDSM.
So next time you buy a game, spare a thought for the actual blood that was shed during it's conception.
I'm thinking I can probably squeeze more than a few stories out of the years i've been doing this job. Highlights possibly include but not limited to, russian crime bosses providing finance, a potentially schizo boss, and the senior guy caught having some "alone time" in an empty office.
