 LIAM DALE
Liam Dale is a unique character in the world of film and television who
has the ability to produce, present and direct at the highest level.
Whatever the subject matter, Liam’s honest, down to earth, creative
journalistic vision brings an extra dimension to any programme, making
even the most traditionally academic or limited special interest topics
accessible to a far wider audience. From Jane Austen to ancient steam
trains, ghosts and witches to giant fish species, Liam Dale’s film
making is synonymous with quality entertainment, enlightening,
delighting and amusing by equal measure.
Liam started out as a teenager at the London Palladium before
progressing to audaciously found "The Actor’s Workshop" with Derek
Jacobi and Janet Suzman. Never afraid of a challenge Liam then moved
into Artist Management, looking after top comedians, actors and
presenters for stage and television, rapidly rising to head up a
successful management company that was in constant demand. However this
was the London of the late 1980s and was in Liam’s view, no place to
bring up his growing young family, so always a countryman at heart, Liam
headed for the beautiful Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire to start his
own production company. Inspired by such idyllic surroundings Liam found
he had a real empathy for wildlife programmes, with birds, badgers and
country matters regularly featured.
As a young Cornish lad, Liam had spent many happy hours at the seashore,
fishing, and at this undoubted watershed in his life Liam turned his
film making skills towards angling.
It was a wise call; after directing and editing more than 300 angling
sell-through programmes, Liam successfully moved into presenting them.
Then, in 1997, the BBC gave him his own prime-time angling series, "The
Big Catch", which took viewers around the world with Liam to see some of
the largest species known to man being landed. Attracting over three
million viewers in the UK, the series has since gone on to perform very
well for BBC Worldwide, showing repeatedly in over 100 countries to an
estimated audience exceeding 60 million. He is personally due to "re-appear" on the small screen fronting Horse and Country TV's new series "Rural Britain - A Novel Approach" where he takes the viewer from Sir Walter Scott's Hibernian literary landscape all the way South to the rolling green hills of Hampshire immortalised by that first lady of letters, Jane Austen.
With steady acclaim for Liam Dale’s extremely watchable style of film
making, a wide variety of special interest commissions followed and
Liam’s instinctive feel for a good story took his work to new heights.
Expansion was soon the order of the day and HellD TV grew to accommodate the demands of this fast developing, ever-changing
industry. Today occupying state of the art studios in the Forest of
Dean, a team of dedicated editors, script writers, camera operators and
production staff support Liam in his film making, as each new project still benefits from his very hands-on approach and personal attention. |
