I’m a factual producer, specialising in high-end TV productions, particularly factual dramas - 90-minute fully-scripted films, telling extraordinary stories that are provocative, compelling and true.

The ‘true’ bit is me.

I have a track record in looking for subjects that catch the eye of channel controllers, I find witnesses and talk to experts - and I piece everything together in a treatment.

I work with executive producers in gaining a commission, then I move into the production stage, closely supporting the writer’s creative vision.

As a former journalist with BBC News, I have a strong understanding of broadcast law and best ethical practice.  I assemble research and use it to appease fire-breathing commissioners, lawyers, and editorial policy advisers, sometimes I publish it as books.  I have a flair for rooting out the heart of the story, I find hard-to-reach people and ask them to tell me difficult things they might never have talked about before.

I offer something that’s more cost-effective than lawyers, more qualified than script editors and a shortcut to creative integrity.

As well as work with Brook Lapping, Blakeway and ITV Studios, career highlights include:
