College on ITV News at Ten

Bedford College Principal and Chief Executive Ian Pryce with ITV News at Ten presenter Chris Ship and Bedford College Media students Bedford College Principal, Ian Pryce, welcomed ITV News at Ten to Bedford College for filming of Leadership Lab in one of the College’s science labs in October.

Ian Pryce said: “I am delighted that Bedford College has been home to ITV News at Ten’s Leadership Lab for almost 18 months.

"It has given our media students the opportunity to get involved as runners for the ITV production team and gain experience of working to high professional standards of national news media.  They have seen the process from the planning stage to filming, editing and the end result that appears the same night on ITV News at Ten.  

"It is a credit to our students, lecturers and lab technicians that ITV has continued to use Bedford College as its location for Leadership Lab.”

Leadership Lab tracks the views of voters in the run up to the next general election. It focuses on a group of floating voters debating the issues that are important to them and voicing their opinions on the party leaders. It gives a snapshot of what the electorate may be thinking about the issues of the day in a marginal constituency.
