Jeremy Rodway, a freelance producer and director who has worked in television for 26 years, did not expect to spend his 55th birthday in a red postal van, delivering Royal Mail parcels near Sheffield.
Rodway has brought to life a host of documentaries about work, such as Channel 5’s Paddington Station 24/7, which led to a surreal situation on his first mail shift. “I remember having the thought: ‘Oh I see, it’s me who’s got to pick the post up, not just film somebody doing it,’” he says. “It’s a very strange experience.”
