Both Star Wars documentaries received widespread critical acclaim as well as Royal Television Society Awards (Programme of the Year and Post-Production). David also works as a media consultant and trainer with many UK and global brands including Marks and Spencer, Mini Cooper, Anglian Water, Gardline Marine Surveys, CEFAS and Bernard Matthews.

    Toy Empire: The British Force Behind Star Wars Toys(Running time 30 minutes)Star Wars super-fan David Whiteley celebrates how a tiny town in the Midlands became the very centre of the Star Wars galaxy in Britain for the toys. Coalville in Leicestershire was the home of toymakers, Palitoy. Already successful with ranges such as Action Man and Tiny Tears, the next brand would propel them into hyperspace! The makers of ‘The Galaxy Britain Built: The Force Behind Star Wars’, bring you the story of the toy designers and factory workers, tasked with filling the toyshop shelves of the UK. Palitoy's sister company in the U.S. – Kenner had landed the licence from LucasFilm. Palitoy would make, assemble and, thanks to their ingenuity, even redesign some of the toys. But most toys connected with movies did not traditionally do very well and if a film flopped, retailers and manufacturers were left with a load of stock they could not shift. The marketing team at Palitoy had quite a task convincing the trade to take it. But obviously Star Wars bucked that trend and then some! ‘Toy Empire: The British Force Behind Star Wars Toys’ tells the story of the rise and fall of Palitoy; and how its legacy lives on with collectors, who look back with nostalgia at the toy product that would define a generation. The documentary received critical acclaim.

    London, England Metropolitan Area
    The Galaxy Britain Built: The British Force Behind Star Wars (Extended Edition - Running time 90 minutes) In this extended edition of the film, Star Wars super-fan David Whiteley celebrates the unsung British heroes behind the original 1970s Star Wars film. The end of the Star Wars saga is imminent with the release of The Rise of Skywalker. This documentary celebrates where it all began. The BBC documentary includes previously unheard stories from the people who made one of the most successful movies of all time, with additional interviews and previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage. Presenter; Star Wars super fan David Whiteley, who has his own connection to the original film (he was born on May 4th) - tracks down the often-modest British talent who brought the galaxy to life. In this feature length edition, David explores the contribution of the London Symphony Orchestra and meets Ann Skinner, who was in charge of continuity. As well as seeing her incredible continuity stills from the set, Ann reveals how she helped Sir Alec Guinness with one of the most famous speeches in Star Wars. In the Director’s cut we also delve into the previously unused sections of interviews, such as the set decorator’s efforts to make all of the science fiction weapons, including Han Solo’s blaster and the firearms of the Stormtroopers. The film is 90 minutes long – a must for Star Wars fans and is in memory of Star Wars Producer, Gary Kurtz and Costume Designer, John Mollo, who passed away since the production ended. The documentary received two Royal Television Society Awards, Programme of the Year and Post-Production. It also received critical acclaim.
