Credits
The following credits are a selection of work I have written, directed or produced. A number of them involved more than one role and are listed in each of the relevant categories. Where relevant further supporting material is available I have included it in the B-Roll section of this site. A number of the programmes are available to view on my YouTube Channel.
My experience as a television director covers a whole range of genres, including the arts, history, travel, science, reality, current affairs and most recently, drama. I have filmed on location in twenty six countries and as well as working for the main UK broadcasters my work has been screened in 130 countries by 540 broadcasters.
