Over the years I have been lucky enough to work on a variety of programme making, here’s just a small selection.
Wilderness With Simon Reeve
A stunning series featuring adventurer and explorer Simon Reeve. As a sound recordist and Drone Pilot, I had the privilege of working on two of the four episodes. An amazing adventure, from the frozen Southern Patagonian Icefield to the Kalahari desert. Coming face to face with wild Pumas in Patagonia and hunting with the San tribe in Namibia. It was one of the most challenging shoots I've undertaken in my 30 years of location sound.
Asian Provocateur
Asian Provocateur is a British television series shown on the BBC. Comedian Romesh Ranganathan is sent by his mother on a ramshackle odyssey around his parents' homeland of Sri Lanka in an attempt to connect him with his roots.
Junior Bake Off
Junior Bake Off is a British television baking competition in which young bakers aged 9 to 15 tackle a series of challenges involving baking cakes, biscuits, bread, and pastries, competing to be crowned Junior Bake Off Champion.
Our Yorkshire Farm
Documentary series set on the Owen family's remote farm in the Yorkshire Dales - Sound & Drone.
How the Victorians Built Britain
In this exciting new series, we travel the length and breadth of Britain to find out how the Victorians built Britain. We uncover the incredible and surprising stories behind iconic landmarks; discover the hidden heroes behind the epic constructions; and find out how the incredible advances made by the Victorians, forged the way we live life today.
Michael Buerk visits vast dams, clambers into sewers, and delves deep under the floorboards of Victorian homes to bring the period to life – proving how they really did build the Britain we live in today.
The Moaning of Life
The Moaning of Life is a British travel documentary comedy television series broadcast on Sky 1. It follows Karl Pilkington around the world as he visits other cultures. Unlike An Idiot Abroad, which had a similar premise, The Moaning of Life sees Pilkington actually choosing to visit other countries in order to see how they face up to some of life's biggest issues with their cultures and customs. He also reassesses his life now that he has reached the age of 40, which he considers to be "middle age". The series has five one-hour episodes, and sees Pilkington visiting Ghana, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, South Africa, Taiwan, and the United States.

“As well as sound, AJ doubles as a fantastic (and quick!) drone op. He shoots fantastic GVs, but also fabulous actuality which we have cross-shot on main camera adding huge production value to scenes. I should also add he’s a great bloke to have a drink with after a busy day!”
