"I am a director currently working on BBC’s ‘Doctors’. I recently had the pleasure of working with Mara Manley as Script Supervisor and thoroughly enjoyed her energy and support in the role. She always had a steady and calm mind even when the set would become stressful and if any qualms came up regarding continuity, Mara would swiftly settle and appease them. She has a clear joy and passion for the job and was always a happy delight to work with. I’ll be soon working on another block of ‘Doctors’ with Mara and very much look forward to it."

"Mara is a fantastic Script Supervisor who I have worked with on a Continuing Drama series. She is great at her job and a wonderful person to work alongside. I will also be trying to book her myself in the future."

Assessor feedback from BBC Production Trainee Scheme:
"In the group exercise Mara offered a good BBC Three idea based on Brexit and another strong idea about absentee fathers. In her interview, Mara demonstrated very strong fact-checking skills and comprehensive knowledge on the subject of diversity. Her pre- prepared idea was strong and well-developed. Mara clearly has lots of great ideas, is very thorough and we believe well-suited to pursuing a role in documentary production."

“I had the pleasure of shadowing Mara as a script supervisor on BBC Doctors. Mara's attention to detail and ability to keep track of everything happening on set were amazing to watch. She was very generous with her time, always happy to share her knowledge, and made me feel welcome from day one. I learned so much about the script supervisor role, and it was clear how much she cares about getting everything just right. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through it all.”
