I have done a number of documentaries, but the most important ones are 1 to 2 hours long for Discovery Channel (DC), British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Science Fiction Channel/Channel 4 (SF/4), National Geographic Television (NGTV), and Nippon Hoso Kyokai [Japan Broadcasting Corporation] (NHK):

A decade is a long time for me to have not been involved in a documentary, and I miss the excitement of it all. Working in front of and behind the camera was a lot of fun, and I met some truly wonderful can-do and charismatic people.

I've also done a lot of domestic (New Zealand) television: Television New Zealand: Sunday TV (TV1), Holmes (TV1, Prime), 20/20 (TV2), Dateline [scroll to 2:14 for start] (Australia), Kim Hill (TV1) — features on giant squid research, deep-sea conservation and effects of fisheries on receiving environment, cetacean research.
