Description

Each feature and documentary is a unique collaboration between Derek and the expert presenters which creates a vivid word picture for the listener. As Derek says “there’s no visual distraction on Radio. You’ve got to get the right people to tell the stories and the stories have to be interesting”. Derek has produced a wide range of documentaries and features covering such diverse subjects as the Swedish botanist Karl Linnaeus, The story of KEIKO the killer whale, star of the movie FREE WILLY and 50 years of the Eurovision Song Contest.
