Stacey Dooley: The Young and Homeless Airs 13th November

Stacey Dooley: The Young and Homeless

Delighted to have been asked by the BAFTA-winning True Vision to compose a score for Stacey Dooley: The Young and Homeless, which airs on BBC 1 on November 13th at 10.45pm. In the film, Stacey uncovers stories from the UK’s homeless teenagers. The film sensitively shares the thoughts and concerns of some of society’s most vulnerable young people.

Last year in the UK over 100,000 young people presented themselves as homeless – but the real number is much higher, as thousands of teens go under the radar by sofa surfing or staying with friends.

BBC One – Tuesday 13th October at 22:45

999: On The Frontline – Series 2

On Sunday 23rd September, 999: On the Front Line returns for a second series of ten episodes following the paramedics of the West Midlands Ambulance Service as they respond to medical emergencies happening simultaneously across the region. It was a pleasure to have composed a selection of music for the series.

Caring for a population of over 5.5 million people spread over 5 thousand square miles, they are the country’s fastest responding ambulance service. Embedded with 9 different ambulance crews spread across three emergency hubs we capture simultaneously every minute of their 12 hour shifts to provide a unique snapshot of life on the front line. Told with a mix of high energy actuality shot on fixed rig, bodycam, roving film crews, and retrospective master interviews, each episode shows the variety of cases the service attends often within the same hour.

During one of the worst winters we have seen, this series we follow the crews as they battle through the snow and react to the highest amount of calls the service has ever dealt with.
