About Ben Gordon
I'm an experienced and versatile content creator, presently working as a senior TV Executive, with a talent for creating innovative and bold ideas. A combination of forensic thinking, advocacy skills and commercial/strategic acumen has helped convert those ideas into critically acclaimed populist TV and millions of pounds of revenue.- "box set" documentary series like "The Yorkshire Ripper Files" (which won a BAFTA in 2020) and "The Shipman Files" (which topped BBC iplayer charts for 16-24 year olds)- landmark series on events as momentous and sensitive as the Holocaust, WWII, the Blitz and Indian Partition (the latter winning a Royal Television Society award)- multiple hours of global formats and returning TV brands worth millions of pounds of revenue including a popular factual brand now on its 9th UK series and a global format which ran for 78 episodes- innovative series immersing modern Brits in meticulously recreated worlds from our past including the Victorian Slum, British borstal, Churchill's Special Operations Executive and the C19th bakery - ground-breaking drama doc series for US/UK channels with cutting edge CGI recreating aerial warfare - bold Channel 4 season tackling the stigma of mental illness which won the buy-in of all mental health charities- powerful documentaries and documentary series ranging from a BAFTA longlisted documentary on heroin addiction to high-rating celebrity-led documentaries for everyone from the Duchess of York to Courtney Love to the Monty Pythons to a format on underprivileged youth described by the press as "a show that says more about our broken society than any hand-wringing MP ever could"- during a first career as a lawyer, I represented a range of large global corporate clients in complex litigation cases - interviewing witnesses, drafting documents, leading delicate negotiations and achieving settlements and acting as advocate for clients in hearings (persuading senior judges to make awards in my clients' favour).
