Programme description: This year, every motorist will spend several days worth of time sitting in traffic jams caused by roadworks. Thousands more will feel their wheels walloping through potholes which occasionally damage cars. In this film we meet the men whose job it is to control the carnage.
In Leeds alone, there are 1,800 miles of roads with 29,000 sets of roadworks a year. Two-and-a-half billion miles are driven on the city's roads every year, contributing to 30,000 potholes a year.
Dealing with this are men like Pat Griffin, who has worked for Leeds City Council Highways Department for 22 years. In this time, the department will have patched over half- a-million potholes. You'd think Pat would be sick of the sight of them. Not a bit of it: 'I've got a passion for it,' he says. 'I'm proud. We're on the front line and what we do make a difference.'
Neil Carpenter has been a utilities inspector at Leeds highways for 11 years, his department inspecting over one hundred thousand utilities digs in that time. His job involves checking that the utilities digging up our roads have permits for their work and that they're not overstaying their welcome. It's a permanent cat and mouse utilities versus inspectors game on the city's streets.
Roadworks and potholes are a favourite national moan, and in this film we hear the exasperated voice of motorists forever stuck at red lights - and we hear from the road crews on whom they frequently vent their ire. |

| PD (Self Shooting) / Fox Wars / BBC 1 / Landmark Films / Apr 2013 to Oct 2013 / Samantha Anstiss |
Production Title: Fox Wars Company: Landmark Films Line Manager: Nick ODwyer Programme Length: 50 minutes Genre: Observational Documentary Sector: Broadcast Television Description:
Self-shooting Producer/Director on a BBC1 10.35pm observational documentary about the huggers, haters and hunters of Foxes.
Fox Wars got pick of the day in all the major press and received glowing reviews and high viewing figures of 2.6m.
I was working on Fox Wars from the idea conception stage, producing and filming the teaser and carrying on to direct the commissioned programme. Fox Wars, unusually for a 10.35pm single, was chosen by the BBC for a wide publicity campaign in which I got to be interviewed on BBC breakfast on the day of transmission!
Programme description:
Love them or hate them, there are 33,000 urban foxes roaming Britain's suburbia. For the residents of the Copse in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire - as for so many other suburbanites - the urban fox provides evenings of enchantment. A cul-de-sac of neighbours compete to offer the tastiest snacks for their bushy-tailed visitors, with one couple even setting up their own CCTV system to provide happy evenings of Fox TV.
Nobby, a resident of Brookside, north London, is also a keen fox feeder. The vixen he has been feeding for the past five years provides him with a welcome distraction and companion through the night hours. But Nobby's approach isn't much appreciated by his neighbours. They blame him for attracting more foxes into the area and making them bolder. His near neighbour Sofia has to take extreme measures in order to protect her flock of Bantam hens. "If a fox killed my chickens I'd be absolutely devastated. I don't know what I'd do. I'd probably start shooting them myself," she says.
There are 16 foxes for every square mile in London, living off food scavenged from dustbins and discarded takeaways. They can live up to 14 years but most urban foxes only manage two. Some are killed by pest controllers like Tim, who's been shooting foxes for 14 years, or Lee, who has killed over 2,000 foxes in the last 10 years. It's not easy work - it often takes hours of waiting and tracking and it can cost up to £200 per fox.
Not all pest controllers favour the gun. Foxagon is one of the few humane pest controllers in the UK: they specialise in moving foxes on rather than destroying them and claim to have so far saved the lives of more than 200 foxes. Foxes tend to have about five cubs a season, making a busy spring for Foxagon's Terry. He argues there's no point in killing urban foxes as another fox will quickly move into the same territory.
Terry would have a hard time making a fox lover of Janet, whose beloved garden in Newport, south Wales, has been persistently and pungently fouled by foxes. Janet has big plans for her garden fox: "I will put 20,000 volts through it. I will fry it," she says.
Fox haters, huggers and hunters: life with our ever bolder suburban neighbour.

Programme description: Since 2002, Ian Tibbetts, a 42-year-old former forklift truck driver from Telford in Shropshire, has been slowly going blind. He has never seen the faces of his twin four-year-old boys. Despite numerous treatments to save his eyesight, nothing has worked - until now.
Over several months, this film follows Ian as he undergoes a series of radical operations in a last attempt to restore his sight. The procedure involves inserting a tiny lens in one of the patient's own teeth and then implanting the tooth in his eye.
Christopher Liu, at the Sussex Eye Hospital in Brighton, is the only surgeon in Britain who performs this remarkable procedure. The success rate is high, but it is not guaranteed. Will Ian ever see his wife again - and will he finally see his twin sons for the first time in his life?
