Nick Knowles
A true ‘one-off’ – Nick pushes the boundaries of presentation with a journalistic integrity laced with an infectious sense of humour! – witness 8 series of BBC’s DIY SOS, RTS Award Winning City Hospital, UK’s Worst, Secrets of Magic, Put It To The Test + his contributions to BBC’s Millennium Night, TV Revealed – his huge input to Comic Relief’s projects in Africa – especially Tanzania…….
……add to this the History series – HISTORYONICS – written and conceived by Nick – and you start to get the bigger picture especially when you add ITV’s ground – breaking live news show Bafta nominated Straight Up plus Wish You Were Here. He presented & directed ITV’s Holiday Makers and worked the live studio for Find A Fortune (also ITV).
Nick is master of live TV – He has a journalist’s ability to think on his feet, grasp the salient points and with utter appropriate wit and wisdom from a totally unique (and often unexpected!) standpoint.
Other live work includes: Central Weekend -Central TV, The Time The Place – ITV, Meridian Tonight – Meridian, 5’s Company – Channel 5,Straight Up – (ITV) + GMTV
Nick brings the eye of a talented director to much of his feature work – His direction of the prestigious film 30 Years of ITV is a landmark. His films for Meridian TV’s News & Coast To Coast, ITV’s Road Show and Straight Up and BBC’s Put it To The Test have been works of art – an art he applied also to the likes of GMTV, BSKYB and Anglia TV.
With a CV and style honed here, the US (CIO Arizona) and Australia (C4), + 5 series of his own Ridgeriders Meridian TV (riding historic trails with celebs on motorbikes) under his helmet, + RTS Award winning: Absolutely Loaded (Carlton) + his deep knowledge of Sport, Nick is one unique talent.
