I got to work with Francis when he directed an episode of Who Do You Think You Are? for the first time. Francis brought a wealth of directing experience to the task, but was also impressively diligent about getting to know the particular grammar of our series. When constructing a narrative during preproduction, Francis was both incisive and adaptable. It was clear that the talent trusted Francis from the outset, and this allowed them to immerse themselves in the unfolding story – something we always hope will happen. I feel that Francis brings the ideal combination of quiet confidence and flexibility to his work. It’s a pleasure to collaborate with him.
