COMING SOON ON CHANNEL5 (UK):
EDWARD VIII & WALLIS SIMPSON
​
I worked with Yeti on this one which 'explores the real reason the couple were sent to the islands and what took place during their five years there, including secret affairs, blackmail plots, allegations of money laundering and involvement in an unsolved murder.'
​
My grandmother would be outraged, because she said if you can't say anything nice, keep your mouth shut, but honestly, Nan, I only said it if there was evidence to back it up...

COMING LATER THIS YEAR:
​
No more details ready for release now, but I've finished filming for an amazing series in which I got to travel and have lots of history adventures, including playing with a cannon. They did make me canoe, but I've forgiven them now... Because they let me keep my cannon ball. And because Alina had the worst activity of all filming her episode...
BELGIUM 1914
HISTORY HIT
​
In 2023, I went to Belgium to film a documentary about the First World War that you don't know. We always name Mons as the beginning in Britain, but Belgium and France had been fighting for weeks at that point. This series is all about the invasion and everything that happened before the BEF got there. Scroll down for a photo album. Incidentally, the idea for this series came from an immense amount of research in Wallonia for a battlefield tour that tells this story. Places are now on sale for 2024, so if you want to learn more about the wider context of the war, you can click on the link below for more details:
