I received an email five weeks later to inform me that I had been unsuccessful.  

Do you have any specific advice on how to prepare? 

Ensure you have a broad range of experiences to draw from so you can demonstrate a well-rounded skill set. Also make sure you are up to date on the BBC from a commercial and consumer point of view. Finally, the BBC normally hosts an online open evening a few weeks before the application deadline, which is something I found very useful when preparing.
