Congratulations are in order for Katharine McCallum as she has been selected as one of Broadcast Magazines Hot Shots 2023!

Katharine joined Purple Productions as a researcher a couple years ago and has already risen through the ranks to assistant producer, impressing those around her in the process. With a passion for learning new skills and regularly working beyond her role, she has made her mark on several unscripted series.

According to Purple Productions creative director Pam Cavannagh, McCallum was crucial to the success of Channel 4's A Lake District Farm Shop and A Cotswold Farm Shop. She shot many of the key scenes and was “pivotal” in gaining access to key third parties.

“Katharine will one day be our boss,” says Cavannagh. “She has always stood out. She is bright, compassionate and fearless. She embraces new roles and duties and always excels. She will go on to have a long and successful career.”
