EXPERIENCE
THE ESTATE WE'RE IN
BBC / Twofour
BBC One commissioned Twofour to make a serious, original five-part documentary series for an unconventional daytime slot. “The Estate We’re In”, about an anti-social estate, required delicacy to deal with street crime, poverty and physical violence. This was Greg's first experience as a Series Director; responsible for the visual style, delivering well-shot actuality, crew safety and presenter driven scenes. The series attracted over two million viewers, proved serious content can play in a daytime slot and was critically acclaimed across the industry with Broadcast & Royal Television Society awards.
