I think the best place for you to ask this is Digital Spy, I don't know if you're a member or not, but there are whole forums on there dedicated to this very subject.

The thing about BBC interviews is that they are so criteria based, so they have spent a huge amount of time and money devising processes that will suss you out without having to worry about your nerves.

I've been through a BBC panel interview, which is more than a little daunting, but as long as you can think on your feet, you'll be fine. Tied with the excellent assessment you'll be handing in it's good.

Pat yourself on the back for getting to interview stage - thousands of people are likely to have applied for that job, and you're probably down to the last 10 or so most suitable candidates.
