Football Family

I've filmed a really enjoyable story with a couple who're both going to Wembley this weekend for the play-offs but have different loyalties. Mike and Fiona Hall have been married for 18 years. He proposed to Fiona, who's a passionate Barnsley fan, on the pitch at Oakwell but Mike is massive Sheffield Wednesday fan! I visited them as they got ready to head to London...



Putting together a self-authored report - where the people in the story tell their own story without using a reporter's voice-over - is always challenging. You need to plan it carefully, making sure the interviewees introduce each part of the story so that there's a beginning, middle and end that fits. I really like to make self-authored packages wherever possible as we reporters are not the story, they are!

Hillsborough: David Duckenfield

I've been working over the last couple of months on the harrowing story of the Hillsborough inquests which concluded this week.  Jurors found the then match commander, Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield, was "responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence" due to a breach of his duty of care. I helped produce our special programme live from Hillsborough and reported on David Duckenfield...
