New work

Fresh back from a relaxing 3 weeks away (needed every minute of it to recuperate), am now quite busy.

I'm designing a News Studio for Chinese TV News, working on a series for a new BBC quiz show called Question of Genius, prepping for a fourth (I think) series of National Lottery 1 vs 100 with Ben Shephard (which is now going to be shot at BBC Scotland, so the set needs altering to fit!)
and just before that happens, a pilot for a new game show called Guesstimation (also in Scotland)

I'm also designing the logo for the forthcoming brand new comedy series for ITV called FM (on my day off).

Thankfully, lots to do, but not too stressful.....yet

Horne & Corden

I went to a screening the other night of the first two episodes.

It's a fantastic show, really funny, great performances and well worth watching.

It was a great show to work on....amazing team.

Every department was very talented, and a joy to work with......more jobs like that please!

Jamie Saves Our Bacon

This show is due out Jan 29th.

A must see, some scenes may be disturbing, and I'm not talking about the set.

New Productions

I've just finished working on the brilliant new sketch show for the BBC, Horne & Corden, starring Mat Horne & James Corden.
I'm now on to a brand new comedy for ITV2 called FM, starring Chris O'Dowd and Kevin Bishop.
Very funny, due out in Feb

Less slog more blog

So it's only been 18 months since my last post.....how ridiculous.
So long in fact that probably nobody reads this anymore anyway, but hey ho, I've got a spare 5 mins so may as well post an update.

The last part of the year has been amazingly busy.

Since the Kevin Bishop Show and Star Stories, I've been non-stop.

Delighted, and privileged to be working mostly in Comedy, I am working on a brand new sketch show Horne & Corden, for the BBC, staring Mat Horne and James Corden, not surprisingly, and it's proving to be a brilliant show.
It's a real joy to be able to work with such great talent on and off screen.

I'm also getting ready for the next series of Top Gear, which I'm sure will be every bit as good as the last, if not better.....a show that just seems to grow every series.

I'm also slipping in a new show for Jamie Oliver, which is very exciting, and quite unique in it's set up....more to follow.

Plus my annual trip up to Glasgow for BBC Scotland's Children in Need, which is always a really nice job to do, with a superb bunch of people.

Then I'm on to a brand new comedy series called FM, which I'm very excited about, and this takes me through until Xmas.

As ever, I'm very thankful that I'm able to work on such great shows, with great people....and if anybody is even remotely interested, I shall try to post more often.

Roman's Empire

Fresh with a renewed vigour to contribute to my blog more often, I have started a new blog site for the show I was involved with at the beginning of the year, Roman's Empire.

Follow the link above and check it out. I've only just started it, so please bear with me...

Another few months go by....

Shocking lack of blog posts yet again...hopefully that'll change for a while as I'm not quite so busy.

I've just finished a long stint filming a brand new show called Roman's Empire. (more details to follow soon hopefully).

Suffice is to say, it was a brilliant job with one of the best cast and crews I've ever worked with.

Everything just seemed to come together perfectly to create what will hopefully turn out to be a truly excellent show.

I was very fortunate to have been able to give the show a really strong visual look, which I hope adds to the fantastic scripts and performances.

It was six long hard weeks of filming, and hopefully now I'll have a little down time to catch up on other things.
Stay tuned for more news and pictures prior to broadcast in April.

Next I'm on to a new show staring Ben Elton, called Get a Grip, and sorting out the final of the Great British Menu.

I'm also sorting out a few bits for the every brilliant Top Gear, and then I'm on to another series that I worked on last year (news to follow soon), plus another series of the excellent and lovely to be involved with, Q.i.

To the one or two people that still read this blog (!), my apologies for lack of posting, but hopefully I'll have some nice new piccies to post soon, so you can see what I've been up to.

All the best,
