“The important thing when working with a media barrister in production is trust. If you know that the lawyer is essentially trying to help you get your ideas on the screen, you feel confident enough to be honest – to actively draw his or her attention to the weaknesses and potential elephant traps in your research. If you sense that the lawyer is being corporately nervous or enjoying the power they have over the production process a little too much, you become defensive. Nigel is no pushover, far from it. But I’ve discovered over the years that he is essentially trying to help us get our programmes made – to say what we want to say without crossing the often blurred lines by which our industry is governed. That makes him a fantastically powerful ally in what is often a very tough fight to put uncomfortable ideas before a wider world."
