About me
I'm a creative thinker who has developed/produced/directed TV & online on loads of different stuff - comedy, music, entertainment, documentaries for all the major channels and I'm now looking for fresh, exciting projects and collaborations. I've produced some of the biggest TV shows in the world, like Robot Wars, the MTV Awards, and BBC1 Saturday Night shiny floor shows, but also passion projects of my own including a BBC1 WW2 documentary and a Sky Arts film about reggae legends Toots & The Maytals.
