TV Documentaries

I've been producing or writing these for years. Here are some examples. And not all about War.
Although some still seem to be distinctly connected.

Return to the Valley of the Kings

I did a lot of scripts for Channel 4 in the 90's, this was one of them, for Leaderfoot Films. Others included - not a full list - Diverse Productions "The Builders Are Coming"' "Reggae Boyz" "Hard Men" & "Love in Leeds"; Adventure Pictures "The End is Nigh"; Hart Ryan Productions "Rawhide and Rioja"; Laurel Productions "Beneath The Streets"; Ray FitzWalter Productions "Starring In Cleethorpes"; and Planet Wild's "The Chilling Fields"
Edward VIII - The Traitor King

I co-produced this with Granada's own Michael Ryan and Sally Woodward-Gentle exec producing. It was a two-part two-hour in-depth investigative doc, probably the last of its kind. The establishment didn't like it: it won awards. Amazingly you can buy it - see button, or watch for nowt on YouTube.

Carl Cox & The Millennium - The Race Against Time

I series produced this 3-parter Rapture TV production, the only record of a BBC Radio 1 Millennium New Year's Eve party I had exec-produced. Carl Cox and the team played Bondi Beach in Sydney, then we flew across the International Dateline to play Hawaii. Safe to say we were all a bit tired after that.
Someday My Prince Will Come

I wrote my first ever voiceover in verse for this elegaic Channel 4 Marc Isaacs film. It won prizes at several European festivals, and got packaged into this rather nifty DVD. Buy it and put a few bob Marc's way - he deserves it.

Reality Is An Illusion Caused By Lack Of NF Simpson

I came in very late in the production to do a bit of exec-ing, so I'm not passing this off as my own graft, but I'm proud of it, so here you go. And David Quantick presented, Andrew McGibbon produced. So what could be nicer?

The Madness of Modern Families

"...should be called...Grumpy-Not-So-Old-Parents." Mumsnet

"A whinging...catalogue of complaints."
Sydney Morning Herald

Nonetheless, this was big in Australia, so you can put a sock in it, SMH. The picture is actually the cover of the book. Don't know how much of my original scripts got this far.
