I'm enjoying the course I am taking with Tim Rice. He has good advice and it's interesting to hear his experiences.

Jonathan Yeo "chatting a bit" about his work. "Yeah it's nice to pick a subject that you have a reaction to". Is this it? Do you call this a "course"? I haven't learnt a single thing. Just heard some remarks that fall in the category of the bleeding obvious. And I'm now 60 pounds poorer. What a let-down.:-( Should have known not to expect anything from the BBC.

Bill Lawrence's comedy writing course is superb. Covering all the basics and wasting no time getting to the crux of what makes good comedy TV, this course comes in bite-size sections that guide you onwards and upwards. A feel-good course by a man renowned for feel-good television. What's not to like?

It’s such a brilliant learning platform. Jancis Robinson classes are short sweet and give me a great sense of understanding. Even after the first 3 classes I learnt a lot. It leaves me wanting to hurry up to the next one. It’s no nonsense and a great insight to the wine industry. I have bought the course for 3 friends too !!

Excellent course and as it’s all online, I can fit it in around my life. It’s one on one which makes me feel as if it’s just the two of us sharing this experience. It’s a an excellent pace, not too slow or protracted but not so fast that I miss important and salient points. I can also hit the pause button and takes notes then resume again. It’s a great writing course which is for novels and I may well undertake another similar writing course but maybe for a screen play. There’s such a range of subjects to choose from and all with big and well known names so I feel as if I’m getting a professional’s insider knowledge. Thoroughly enjoying it.

I'm doing the Thriller course with Harlan Coben and I'm absolutely loving it. So many other great courses to look forward to.

The courses are taught by experts in their fields of endeavour. The experts present their courses well. With a little effort, they are easy to learn. Also, it is fun to learn from such experts. I consider the cost of joining BBC Maestro to be well worth the expense.
