Thumbing through this week's Radio Times, I noticed the BBC is offering 'another chance to see' my episode of 'World's Busiest Cities' - made back in 2017 with the lovely team below. It's a show I'm very proud of - and glad to see is still worthy of an airing - at 3.15pm on a Sunday!
I guess one of the silver linings of no television being made is that all our old stuff is on air again! And the full series is on iplayer.
Needless to say, I am available - Specialist Factual P/D - crewed, self-shot, edit producing (or anything really!)

Hello to @MarkAtwill @SarahGibbs @KarolinaMottram @AdnanAhmed @ClementineMortelman @KarenChambers @SharmonyOfori @MichelleGalvin @RobertMyler @JimAshley @TraceTaylor BFE Who have I missed?

An absolutely cracking series - and one that has been fantastic value for money for the Beeb. I think it's been repeated more times than any other series I've ever worked on! All episodes beautifully (self) shot by a team of really talented PDs and some motion control timelapse from Rob Myler that was not only the best job in TV (shoots in four megacities) but also made the series visually compelling. A privilege to work with you all.

@SarahGibbs it really was a cracking series to work on! Approx 86,500 images across 72 camera locations in the end!

@MattAinsworth I'll look forward to watching this 🙌

@MattAinsworth it’s a terrific show Matt - one I’d love to have made. I’ve noticed a couple of yours repeated recently (Jimmy’s food factory?!) A good reminder of your superior skills! Hope you’re keeping ok
Matt Ainsworth
@SamGoss Wow - this is a new conversation topic: "what's the oldest repeated show you've had on in the last year -- instead of making new TV"
Food Factory is nearly 15 years old! Production started in Jan 2009.
Thanks for the kind comments. I'm well thank you, although the work situation is pretty dire. Hope things going ok for you

Congrats to the Squid Game team - epic production!
I just spotted this little TV reference... The glass bridge game was every bit as exciting as its partner in time!
(anyone less familiar with 1980s kid's TV, that's the utterly terrifying Vortex from The Adventure Game)
