For the second series of Sky History’s Al Murray fronted programming, I created three debate pieces about Historical figures featured in the series. We were able to give the impression that Al Murray and The Pub Landlord were in the same room debating back and forth on the subjects.
As well as directing the pieces on the day, I wrote the scripts for all three and even re-wrote one on the day with Al as he like the Pub Landlords answers for The Battle of Britain pieces so much he wanted them for him self!
Like Lost Relics before it, a lot of research went into the making of these pieces, so much so I should probably get a History Degree at this stage!
As well as the three debates, we filmed short pieces for if Al won the debate or the Pub Landlord and asked our social media followers to vote on who they thought had the most convincing answers and then played out the winning video.
