Best wishes to all our supporters and viewers in the year ahead for 2007. It has been a crazy year even by my own standards. We have shared our home with the Insect Tribe of Papua New Guniea and they gave us a wonderful insight into our own world for the sereis Return of the Tribe which was broadcast in April. Since then Chief Joseph has died after a crocadile hunt and he is in our thoughts. Our adventure with them will continue I am sure. I first met the tribe while filming the Edge of Existence, the antropology travel series which visited the Beduin of Oman, the Sea Gypsies of Borneo and the Llama traders of the Andes. These were special journeys and I am grateful to the directors, producers and camera teams which made it all possible.

There was our Sundance debut with A Very British Gangster which went on to cinema here, Spain and also in France. It went on to win awards in those two countries too and I am very grateful for all at Dare Films particulary, Sam Emmary, co-producer and Sally Hilton, our fantastic editor who made it all possible. Our anti-smoking campaign for Cancer research UK and the Dept of Health, also picked up awards in France and the UK, despite the banned Polonium commercial never making it to broadcast.

The Underworld strand continued with follow ups to three previous subjects including a ten year renunion with drug dealer, Wayne Hardy, who I exposed as an undercover reporter ten years ago for World In Action. The end of the year saw Street Crime Live, an innovative crime show from the streets which sinularly tackled the problems surrounding yourth crime. The death toll of teenagers on our streets has been a particular focus and our final credits roll was replaced with a homage to all the (as then 64) victims in `07. There has to be a better way - lets hope for sure that this toll drops in the year ahead and condolences to all the families. To all our viewers and supporters thanks so much for caring; myself and my team hope to bring you new, fresh and challenging work this year and we will all try to do our little bit to make it a better and safer place to enjoy for everyone, including my new baby girl ,TIger, who spent the Christmas in hospital. To my wife and family and colleagues and all at Five, Tigress, North One, Dare Films, True North Productions thanks for putting up with me.
