Al Lethbridge CV 2011 Al Lethbridge – Composer ‘One of our busiest film and televison composers, Al’s music is fresh, exciting, and heartfelt. He is equally at home with an epic historical thriller, as with an intimate observational documentary. His scores display a powerful narrative intelligence, and he has a special talent for writing hauntingly beautiful melodies…’ Richard Paine Media Music Director at Faber Music. From wildlife to science fiction, history to contemporary drama, Al has scored the music for a multitude of film and television productions. High-profile shows include the BBC's ground breaking adventure series "Beyond Boundaries",Ch4’s "Day Of The Kamikaze” (nominated for a Grierson), "Anatomy For Beginners" (winner of two RTS Awards), and "Nuremburg: Goerings's Last Stand" - the winner of the 2007 Bafta Hugh Weldon Award. His qualities as a composer and collaborator have led to the formation of many successful and long term working relationships. A good example is found in his work with acclaimed drama-documentary director Peter Nicholson. His scores for Peter's films have now ranged anywhere from the epic themes for a fading empire in the Channel 4 Napoleonic War series "A World In Arms", to the up-to-the-minute tension music of the BBC's controversial and politically explosive "Last Flight to Kuwait". In a completely different direction, his credits number several films with a strong oceanic theme. For Al this is an area of total fascination that has been fed by first hand experiences at sea, sailing the 29ft "Snork Maiden" with his wife, film-maker Jenny Jones. Sea-going television highlights have so far included his score for the recent award winning BBC natural history film "Andrea: Queen Of Mantas", the BBC1 series "Pacific Abyss" and the award winning David Attenborough production, "Sharks The Truth". Jenny's speciality has been the filming of Great White Sharks, and with Al on board as composer, they have completed four shark documentaries that have been broadcast all over the world. In another sea influenced project, "The Navigator" Al has returned to his first love, the Spanish guitar, with an album exploring the moods and atmospheres he has experienced during voyages under sail. Always curious, keen to experiment with new sounds and colours, and not afraid to take risks, Al shows a consistent ability to uncover the emotion at the heart of a project, and translate this into fresh, exciting, and memorable music. It comes as no surprise that the BBC turns to his music time and again, and that he has been described as "..one of Channel 4's favourite composers..” Selected Credits Drama-Documentary The Day Of The Kamikaze Channel 4 Director - Peter Nicholson Cast - Togo Igawa - DarlowSmithson (2008) Winner, Gold Medal - New York International Film Festival, Nominated Grierson Award - Best Historical Documentary Nuremburg - Goering‘s Last Stand Channel 4 Director - Peter Nicholson Cast Hannes Hellman, Des McAleer - 3BM (2007) BAFTA Winner – Huw Wheldon Best Specialist Factual Film Nominated for History Prize, Banff World Television Awards Last Flight To Kuwait - The Secret Of BA Flight 149 BBC2 Director- Peter Nicholson Cast- Chris Walker, Tom Mannion, Liz McKechnie - Blakeway (2007) Revealed: The Real Jackal Sky One 1x60 Director - Andy Wells - Redback Films (2006) Secrets Of The Dead: The Hunt For Hitler’s Scientists Five & National Geographic and WNET - Director Mark Radice - Windfall Films (2005) Land of Lost Monsters Cast - Lorne Cardinal, Glen Gould, Toa Waaka,Teo Ao Tahara - Animal Planet USA 1x 120 mins Producer Jenny Jones - BBC (2003) A World in Arms: Britain's War Against Napoleon Channel 4 - 3x60 minute series Director - Peter Nicholson Cast- Joss Ackland, John Sessions - 3BM (2003) Animals Of The Nativity 1x 60 Animal Planet USA Christmas Special Exec Producer Vyv Simson - BBC WorldWide (2002) Wilderness Men: Alexander Von Humboldt - Great Natural Traveller BBC2 1x60 Director - Peter Nicholson Cast - Christopher Eccleston (2000) Adventure Azorian: The Raising Of The K129 1x120 Broadcaster tbc, Director - Michael White DVD released 2010 - Michael White Films Vienna (TX TBC Discovery 2011) Around The World In 80 Days BBC1 6x60 minute Series Producer Kez Margrie - (2009) Beyond Boundaries BBC 1 & 2 four series of 4 x 60 minutes Executive Producer Rob MacIver - Diverse Bristol (2005 - 2009) RADAR People of The Year Human Rights Award, Nominated: Media Factual 2008 Wilderness Explored BBC4 3 x 60 minute Series Director Jeremy Bristow (2008) Paradise Or Bust BBC2 4x60 minute series Series Producer Simon Bisset - Shine (2008) Bear Grylls' Mission Everest Channel 4 - director Alexis Girardet -Diverse (2008) Mission Africa BBC1 15x30 minute series Exec Prod.

  • Mike Gunton Creative Director, BBC Studios' Natural History Unit
    Mike Gunton Creative Director, BBC Studios’ Natural History Unit Media Masters – January 30, 2020 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m joined by Mike Gunton, creative director of the BBC’s Natural History Unit. Mike is responsible for bringing new and pioneering stories about the natural world to global audiences, including the BAFTA and Emmy-winning Planet Earth II, which was viewed by millions worldwide. In 2018, his groundbreaking animal behaviour series, Dynasties, also picked up a raft of awards and was recognised by Sir David Attenborough as inventing a new genre in natural history filmmaking. A fellow of the Royal Television Society, he also speaks internationally as an ambassador for natural history filmmaking, the BBC, and the natural world. Mike, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Nice to be here. How on earth did you get into all this lark then? Well, actually, I’d always wanted to be in television, but not necessarily in wildlife filmmaking. Although I must say, David Attenborough was a bit of an inspiration as a kid, seeing him on Life on Earth, I think it was. And now you’re his boss. Well, yes. If only! And actually, funnily enough, Clive James. It was quite poignant when I saw that he had passed away. Sadly missed, yes. I used to like reading his reviews in the paper, and him talking about television just got me interested in television as a teenager really.

E-mail: [email protected] In 1974, the lofty ambition of a BBC drama producer to manufacture a ‘prestige’ international hit along the lines of Elizabeth R (BBC2, 1971) came unstuck. In this case study, the authors consider the plight of Churchill’s People (BBC1, 1974-75) during a time of economic strife in the UK and industrial unrest at the BBC, and ask how a series which combined so many skilled writers, directors and actors could result in such a poorly-received end product. Churchill’s People is also placed in a wider context to assess its ‘neglected’ status, the authors drawing parallels with other historical drama of the era. The series’ qualification for being ‘forgotten’ is considered in relation to its struggle in the ratings against strong competition, the ‘blacking out’ by unions of production at the BBC for eight weeks and the subsequent pressures on transmission times, prompting the authors’ consideration of a more qualified definition of ‘lost’ drama, i.e.

Irwin Monitor (BBC, 1958–65), a series which showcased the arts and their creators and was presented by Huw Wheldon, is now remembered as the flagship of late 1950s and early 1960s arts documentary television broadcasting. In Arts TV: A History of Arts Television in Britain, John Walker describes Monitor as ‘a crucially important early series’ (1993: 45), arguing that ‘no one could deny its ground-breaking achievements’ (ibid.: 49). John Wyver, in Vision On: Film, Television and the Arts in Britain, called Monitor ‘among the BBC’s most celebrated contributions to “good broadcasting’’ ’ (2007: 27).1 In the edited collection Experimental British Te l e v i s i o n , Jamie Sexton refers to Monitor as the ‘BBC’s critically acclaimed arts series’ (Mulvey and Sexton 2007: 90), while Kay Dickinson, in the same collection, refers to it as a ‘well respected fortnightly Sunday arts magazine programme’, pointing out that this was where Ken Russell first made his name (ibid.: 70).
