TV
I have always been a telly addict
and I have always loved science, but it was not until I was 25
that I realised that my ideal job would be making TV science
programmes. This section is about my career in television,
which started off behind the camera and then moved in front of
the camera.
My latest projects have been with
BBC4 and Discovery, and you can find out more by visiting
the Mind
Games page and the Funny
You Should Ask page.
My most successful documentary was
Fermat's Last
Theorem. You can find details of this programme and the
story behind how it was made in the Fermat
Corner. |
| Similarly,
find out about The Science of
Secrecy in Crypto Corner.
This was a history of codes and codebreaking, based on my
second book, The Code
Book. This series, my on screen debut, is sometimes
repeated in the UK on Channel 4, usually when the cricket is
rained off. |

I have also worked on the BBC Earth
Story series, and for 4 years I worked as a director and
producer on Tomorrow's World. Within the next three months,
sections will appear about these programmes. In the meantime,
you can explore the BBC science website, which has information
about both these programmes.
There will also be a section about
my forthcoming series about puzzles, which will be broadcast
on BBC4. And finally, before the end of the year, I hope to
add a long section about how I got into TV and some tips for
anybody else who is interested in a career in the media. If
you sign-up
to the newsletter, then you will know as soon as these
sections
appear. |
