Trawlermen: Hunting the Catch Series 1

BBC 1, 2022

An ambitious BBC One six-part documentary series following the work of British trawler crews doing the most dangerous job in Britain. Working in 300,000 square miles of ocean - from the North Sea to the English Channel - each episode features multiple deep-sea fishing trips filmed during a single week at sea.

I kept my feet firmly on land, doing the master interviews for the series with over 30 skippers and crew.
