UK independent broadcaster Channel 4 has appointed documentary maker David Brindley to its Factual Commissioning team.
Reporting into Deputy Head of Factual Nick Mirsky, Brindley joins as Commissioning Editor working with Madonna Benjamin and Amy Flanagan to maintain, develop and refresh the channel's multi-part documentary series, which has included One Born Every Minute, 24 Hours in A&E and First Dates.
Nick Mirsky says: "David is an enormously talented programme maker and one of the key creative forces behind some of Channel 4's most successful big documentary series. I am thrilled he will be joining the team. He will be bringing us a depth of experience in popular and quality documentary series, as well as his own unique programme making intelligence. We are really lucky to have him."
Mr Brindley joins the channel from Twofour Broadcast, where he is currently series producing and directing Educating Yorkshire; airing from September on Channel 4. While there, he was also executive producer on Happy Families (ITV1).
Prior to that, Mr Brindley worked at Dragonfly Television where he was tasked with moving the third series of One Born Every Minute from Southampton to Leeds.
He spent three years at Minnow Films as one of its original team members, where he produced on Morgan Matthews' BAFTA and RTS winning The Fallen (BBC Two) and Storyville's acclaimed Cage Fighting Women (BBC Four) as well as directing his own films The Kid's Speech (BBC One) and Ashes to Diamonds (Channel 4).
Mr Brindley commented: "Having recently made Educating Yorkshire and One Born Every Minute for Channel 4, I'm thrilled to now be joining its talented Factual commissioning team. With the appetite for all things documentary growing, I'm looking forward to working with the very best filmmakers and independents to help continue to build on the department's enviable reputation."
