2006 Video interviews for corporate clients.
TELEVISION PRODUCTION half- hour durations transmitted on BBC2 at 11.30 a.m. 7.30 pm and in Learning Zone:
Open Forum magazine - studio discussion and lively location inserts. Very experienced at finding last minute guests and briefing presenters for Saturday morning 'soft' education magazine programmes at one point presented by Howard Stableford.
Best programmes produced for a general audience was one on the history of the police and another on Victorian spiritualism. Both used a lively blend of music and reconstruction.
OUPD Blue - a personal look at police history filmed in London, Paris and Rome
Was Anybody There? - the quirky story of the Victorian medium Florence Cook and her obsessive admirer, the scientist William Crookes.
A Kind of Magic and Stormy Weather - behind the scenes of modern Shakespeare with specially shot rehearsal footage and interviews with cast. Ian Talbot as Botom gives the view (literally) from the horses' mouth.
Wallace in Wales - a journey through Welsh countryside for a biopic of the man who wasn't Darwin.
