Banijay Brightbulb Unscripted Development Intern Scheme 2025.

Got brilliant diverse ideas? Want to work in Unscripted TV?

NO experience necessary.

Are you addicted to TV, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Netflix? Love sharing the amazing thing you just watched? Always thinking "This show would have been way better if they'd done this instead"?

Sounds like you? Then YOU are exactly who we are looking for. COME AND WORK WITH US! We are looking for people who LOVE content to help us dream up new exciting Unscripted TV shows.

We're running BRIGHTBULB, a unique entry-level opportunity that welcomes applications from diverse talent. You don't need any experience or qualifications - just a genuine passion for content, plenty of enthusiasm and a brain fizzing with fresh ideas.

This is NOT a job in production. You won't be making the shows - instead, your job in Development will be coming up with, shaping and pitching brilliant new Unscripted TV formats. Unscripted shows include Reality shows, Quizzes, Makeover, Dating, Factual Entertainment, Factual, Gameshows, Lifestyle shows and lots more. Our interns work in a fun, fast-paced creative environment in our West London offices. With excellent, experienced support to guide them through their first role in the TV industry.
