Michael Waterhouse

I have recently produced a series for Channel 4, entitled 'Britain at Low Tide', examining stories behind the fascinating archaeology we can find on the coastline of Britain between the tides. I am a very experienced London-based Series Producer, Director and Scriptwriter, with 25 years + in the documentary field, producing for all the terrestrial channels, as well as Discovery. On the whole, I now act as Series Producer on my projects, and direct a number of programmes within the series (e.g. all Nick Crane's solo documentary series for BBC2, including GREAT BRITISH JOURNEYS), but I am also very happy produce-directing one-offs or programmes within a series (e.g. 2010's landmark C4 science series THE GENIUS OF BRITAIN). My work has generally dealt with historical, political or religious subjects, or issues of social concern - subjects ranging from archaeology to the history of landscape, Tudor intrigue to Marilyn Monroe, medical ethics to the history of British science. I have worked with a diverse range of presenters, including Tony Robinson, Bettany Hughes, Joan Bakewell, Richard Dawkins, Jim Al-Khalili, Nick Crane, James Dyson, Stephen Hawking, Marcus du Sautoy, Auberon Waugh, A N Wilson,Tony Benn, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown and numerous bishops. I have managed large and small teams, inexperienced presenters, extended production periods and variable budgets. I've filmed across the world and have specialised in recent years in history.
