.It’s been 4 months since my last post. The reason being that I’ve been away shooting a new 10 part TV series for the National Geographic network called Scam Cities and I’ve barely had a minute to stop and write anything.
A few people have been asking what the new show is about so here’s a sneaky preview. It’s mostly shot undercover using the latest spy camera technology and follows me as I try to uncover and infiltrate the criminal gangs who prey on tourists in 10 different cities around the world.
At its best, it’s action packed television full of fascinating characters who exist on the wrong side of the law. The shows are really about these scam artists and how they operate. Sometimes by playing the victim, other times, the friend, I try to get to know them better, and then, get them to reveal on camera exactly how and why they do what they do.
The 10 programmes are in the edit right now but they’re already shaping up really well.
The show will transmit on the National Geographic Channel all over the world starting this autumn. I’ll write in more detail nearer the tx date.
