events in recent British history - the bomb attacks on London's
transport system on July 7th 2005' |
 | 24 Hours in A&E On 20th March I was excited to go along to the Royal Television Society awards where 24 Hours in A&E won in the best documentary series category. It was up against Fighting On the Frontline (a three part series which I also scored) and Educating Essex. Series 2 of A&E is now in the edit. The Garden Productions, Channel 4 |
 | Samurais, Spaceships, & Eskimos... I'm currently working on a trio of animations to promote a new series of work by the brilliant artist & illustrator Graham Carter, animated by the equally brilliant Ticktock Robot. |
 | FIGHTING ON THE FRONTLINE "There have been loads of excellent documentaries about soldiers in Afghanistan... is there really room for another? Well, yes as it happens. Because this one is extraordinary. Sam Wollaston The Guardian "Disturbing and gripping television" Tom Sutcliffe The Independent |
