“John’s experience, commitment and enthusiasm for TV meant he was invaluable in our police research on ‘Kiri’. His notes were constructive, delivered in plain English and often helpful when trying to find story solutions. John was also great as an on-set advisor and worked very well with the cast. Wunmi Mosaku (who plays DI Mercer in Kiri) valued John’s insight into life as a police officer and the human side of the job, as well as the procedural side. John helped us with the choreography of arrest scenes too, and always with an encouraging, passionate approach that cast and crew appreciated.”
— Toby Bentley Producer Kiri (Channel4 2018)
“I have worked with John as police advisor in both drama development and production. John not only has first-hand experience in many areas of policing, but he is also an avid fan of TV drama and sensitive to the creative process. He is able to work with writers to support and strengthen editorial content and has brilliant contacts that can open many doors. John would be a great asset to any production looking for advice on policing.”
