How to treat your runners
It can be a tough life being a runner in TV. Constantly on-hand, made to do grunt work, occasionally getting tangled in national tabloid scandals, etc – but it isn't without the odd perk here and there.
For instance, one runner working on Sky's coverage of the Academy Awards last weekend found himself in a lift at the Roosevelt Hotel shortly after the ceremony, sharing it with none other than Renee Zellweger and her new friend, Oscar.
When the doors closed, Renee offered him the award to hold and suggested that the two of them take a picture together.
Bless.
