<p>I recently directed this BBC One ident which was used to promote BBC One’s Spring 2010 Saturday night schedule and featured <strong>Total Wipeout</strong>, <strong>Dr Who</strong> and <strong>Over the Rainbow</strong>.  I directed and produced all of the layouts and designs with help from illustrator <a href="http://www.stanleychow.co.uk/" target="_blank"><strong>Stanley Chow</strong></a>. I think he did a great job getting the likeness of Matt Smith as the new Doctor, Richard Hammond, Graham Norton and Charlotte Church.</p>

<p>In 2007 I was asked by producer, <strong>Clive Juster</strong>, to make a new mini-episode of <strong>Mr Benn</strong> based on one of <strong>David McKee&#8217;s</strong> original comic strip artworks from the 70s.  It was such a privilege to be able to use David&#8217;s illustrations and try and re-create the feel of the original shows.  I was really pleased with the end result and so was David.</p>
