This was a challenging but rewarding series to create and produce. It relied on myself and the team gaining and maintaining access with two police forces (Surrey and Northamptonshire), 3 councils and several car pounds across the country, all running in unison. To make the series work, it was essential to set up tight compliance protocols and be across the legal aspects of every story as we filmed it, as time in the edits was tight. |
