He established his own independent company, Platinum Productions, which made many high-quality programmes for Channel 4 and the BBC, including several editions of 'Dispatches' and specials for the 'Money Programme'. In 1987 he produced and directed one of the most important miscarriage of justice documentaries ever made, 'Murder at the Farm: Who Killed Carl Bridgewater?'.

The murder remains officially unsolved.
