His film The Egg (w.t.) is scheduled to air in Nature’s 2018-19 season. A self-described “failed professional footballer,” Birkhead credits his academic brother’s discipline and passion for natural history with the discovery of his own love for the natural world. After gaining a doctorate and spending two years at post-doctoral work in the department of zoology at the University of Oxford, he joined London Weekend Television (LWT) in 1984. Looking back at that time, Birkhead calls his career move “pure good fortune as LWT encouraged entrepreneurship and independence.” He worked in the current affairs and features department for five years on a variety of programs, including live entertainment programs, commercials for the community unit, and game shows. He then left to set up his own company while at the same time making wildlife films for the highly regarded Partridge Films, which was led by the “brilliant and esoteric” Michael Rosenberg.
