What happens when a leading TV director works with research content?

Richard has been working in TV drama, mostly in soap operas, for 25 years. He started as a floor runner at EastEnders, and worked his way up the production route until EastEnders gave him the opportunity to direct 12 years ago. Since then, he has directed nearly 150 episodes of the BBC flagship show, and in recent years, has also been working on Coronation St and Emmerdale.
In this episode, he shares his memories of working with Field Notes and our Corona Stories initiative in 2020, and how working with research content is similar (and different) to what he does in his daily job.
