The best way to get someone new to trust you is to lie to them. That’s how it works in the TV business. When a producer asks if you can fill in and cover a new series, the first thing you do is reassure them you’re an expert on that series. That might not be true, but you need them to trust that you’ll come through. So you tell them you’re an expert, then get to work on making the lie the truth.
