Danielle Peck Documentary Showrunner and Executive Producer

I was executive producer on this epic new 6-part series made for Sky Documentaries, drawn from the archive of over 10,000 interviews conducted by legendary broadcaster Sir David Frost. Through his encounters with a stellar cast of cultural and political figureheads the series gives an unmatched insight into decades of the world’s biggest political and social changes.

Key responsibilities included shaping episodic narratives around the interviews with The Beatles, Muhammad Ali, Jane Fonda, President Richard Nixon, Elton John and political leaders in the long search for peace in the Middle East; managing multiple and complex stakeholders relationships; staffing and managing a large production team; working hand-in-glove with the head of production to ensure budget and schedule gave the creative room to manoeuvre; leading on complex and often sensitive story and compliance issues.
