Reichenbach Falls

Reichenbach Falls was like making a punk record. We had a great script by James Mavor, and no money – so we just picked a dozen great people and made it up as we went along. Alec Newman is a stand-out as the grizzled detective Buchan – and look out for a cameo from the film’s secret  crime-writing uncle, Ian Rankin…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Robin Hood

I started up Robin Hood for the BBC –  it was rollicking big-budget stuff, and the Hungarian stunt men were very cool!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Waste of Shame

A Waste of Shame was an amazing opportunity – a passion project of writer William Boyd’s that would never have been made anywhere else but the BBC, about Shakepeare’s secret passions: great performances from Rupert Graves, Indira Varma and a young Tom Sturridge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Canterbury Tales

I got to make two dramas in this ground-breaking series – The Sea Captain’s Tale with the wonderful Om Puri, and series opener The Miller’s Tale with Billie Piper in her first big part.
