Sorry, not a very helpful answer. Good question though, something I've often wondered.

I found this on the net,

Peter Offer, 44, BBC continuity announcer -
"I think a lot of people assume that in between programmes we sit there with our feet up, but it doesn't work like that. We write all our scripts; I'll probably be writing copy for my next shift."

Scripts! What a luvvie. I suppose there'll be make-up, hair, wardrobe - and that's just for radio.

You never see these jobs advertised, do you?
