Read MoreI’ve enjoyed making specialist factual TV for major broadcasters around the world for over twenty years, first as an editor, now as a series director, PD and edit producer. I specialize in adventure, science, history and natural history, though am very happy to work in other areas too. My latest project was at Off the Fence, working as Series Director on the second series of 'Rescued Chimpanzees of the Congo with Jane Goodall'. Recently I’ve also lectured at degree level in film making, gained an MSc with distinction in Science Communication, and written for BBC Science Focus Magazine. The rest of the time I sail, cycle and make useful things in my workshop. I'm based in Bristol but am happy to work elsewhere.
