I'll start off by saying quite candidly that production management is not for me. While I can, if necessary, make a budget or a schedule or what have you it makes my eyes cross and my brains dribble out of my ears. Excel documents are the kinds of things which give me stress dreams.
That said, I learned a lot. I can now use excel quite proficiently and I know more of the technical ins and outs of scheduling (to shoot in sequence or to shoot in location order? That is really the question). Knowing about castingcallpro.com is also vey useful, it let's you quickly search for whatever requirements you have and pops up with pages of potential actors.
The day of content origination was more an area if production I'm interested in. Factual programming is an interesting area - my personal favourite is the Brian Cox popular science kind of thing but I also outed myself as a bit of a Springwatch fan. IT'S HARMLESS ENTERTAINMENT, OK?
Now that my credibility is completely ruined, I wonder if anyone will take me seriously again.

I gave up on such worries last year when I outed myself as a Come Dine With Me obsessee. Wait til it goes primetime and everyone starts watching it; you'll go off it no problem and will even be able to claim that you were ahead of your time :)
