After presenting the youth-focused satellite TV show Cool Cube and the kid-focused animal programme WildBunch, Violet Berlin went on to host the CITV videogame show Bad Influence! alongside children’s television stalwart Andy Crane. The programme ran for four series, and concurrently Violet wrote games columns for the Observer Magazine and Digitiser, as well as setting up her own TV company to make programmes for The Children’s Channel. She later hosted science show The Big Bang and Gamepad, as well as writing and presenting the technology series SoundByte for the BBC World Service. Shortly after the birth of her children in the Noughties, she switched focus to become a script writer and narrative designer for interactive and immersive experiences.
