“China’s Stolen Children just won a Bafta, but Undercover Mosque runs it close because of the way it fended off so many attacks on its journalism to come through as the stand-out investigation of last year.

We dare to say difficult and sometimes unfashionable things. Channel 4 is fearless in its support of investigative journalism: we’ve led on multicultural issues, for one example – Iraq is another – and have produced a body of work that has confronted some of the key issues affecting the country over the past five years.

I’m always on the look-out for stories and new areas to investigate – the bigger the subject the better – and always looking to meet new producers and journalists. Good producer-directors with a hard journalism background are hard to come by.”
