Panorama: Life at 100

Shooting Assistant Producer

BBC1

Produced and directed by Angie Mason

Presented by Joan Bakewell, this Panorama Special follows seven people who have reached 100 years or more. Many are still alert and active, like 105-year-old Diana Gould, who exercises every day. Actor Earl Cameron's last part was at 97 in Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio. He is ready if his agent calls. Others are acutely lonely, like George Emmerson, an amateur painter and former tax officer, now living alone after his wife of 68 years died. But like many, he values his independence and still wants to live at home. Almost all need help and care from the government, the NHS, local authorities and families. But are they all prepared for life at a hundred?

Stabbed: Britain's Knife Crime Crisis

Producer

BBC1

Director: Toby Trackman

In 1993 Duwayne Brooks was waiting at a bus stop in Eltham with his friend Stephen Lawrence when they were attacked by a racist gang and Stephen was brutally stabbed to death. Witnessing Stephen's murder left Duwayne severely traumatised. Still deeply affected 25 years on, he takes viewers on a personal journey into the current wave of knife crime and the impact it is having across the nation. He meets victims’ families and friends as they cope with the aftermath of a loved one being killed and the ensuing fight for justice. He engages with the perpetrators to understand what is making more and more young people turn to knives, and he explores what is being done to stem the violence. Along the way, he revisits his own past, facing up to the trauma that has come to define him. As the death toll rises each month, the film becomes a powerful account of a most deadly year - an intimate and revealing look at one of the biggest challenges facing the country

Panorama: Can Violent Men Change?

BBC1 - Producer and Director

Nominated for the Royal Television Society Independent Journalism Award 2019

Every year nearly two million people in the UK are victims of domestic abuse, with police receiving 100 calls an hour about domestic violence. But what is being done to tackle the violent men at the root of the problem? More and more abusers are getting access to courses and therapies designed to help them change their violent behaviour. At stake is the safety of children and partners.

But at a time when women's refuges are closing due to lack of funding this is a highly controversial approach, which some even say is dangerous. With extraordinary access to some of these courses, Panorama asks how effective these interventions are and if violent men can ever really change
