[ Paul Olding ]

Paul has written, directed and produced over 60 TV documentaries. He started with BBC Tomorrow's World, moving briefly onto the Holiday Show and Animal Hospital, before returning to the BBC Science department to make a number of films for the Horizon brand, including bringing D:Ream keyboard player Prof Brian Cox to the small screen. Paul has gone on to work across a wide range of subject matter, from geology, evolution, child psychology, cosmology, public health, archaeology and ancient history, modern history and natural history. He helped radically change the face of science tv programming, was one of the BBC's first 'self shooters', developed and used a 'fixed rig' before it became a genre and was one of the first to make BBC documentary films in Hi-Def. He has made highly acclaimed single films and tv series for all UK terrestrial channels, plus Discovery, National Geographic, Animal Planet, The Science Channel, Reelz, ZDF and PBS. As an experienced Showrunner and Series Producer, Paul has also developed and had commissioned a number of new series, as well as rebranding existing formats. He has also worked as a series scriptwriter and is currently involved with the development, pitching and scripting of a number of new projects.
