London, 18 November 2004:  TWI has appointed Richard Clemmow, former Director of Factual Programmes at Carlton, in a brand new role to be its new Head of Factual Programming.

Clemmow will join the independent next month (Dec) assuming responsibility for all TWI�s factual output including its award-winning Colour of War documentary strand.  He will also be leading TWI�s development of a full range of factual programmes as the company continues to expand its non sport programming.

This summer�s "D-Day in Colour" for ITV1 will be followed by "Adolf Hitler in Colour" next year, screening for the first time long-lost colour footage of the tyrant which has been missing for the past 40 years. Production has also started on a further "In Colour" show which was recently commissioned in the UK.

TWI�s  Factual department also made the acclaimed Christopher Reeve documentaries, "Hope in Motion", and "Keeping Hope in Motion", which charted the tragic Superman actor�s brave battle to walk again following a horse-riding accident which left him paralysed. "Keeping Hope in Motion" aired on BBC1 last month, two weeks after Reeve succumbed to a fatal infection.

Clemmow ran Carlton�s award-winning factual department for two years, producing documentaries for all the UK�s major channels as well as international broadcasters. He also comes with extensive knowledge of the US market having established Carlton�s US East Coast factual production operation in 2000 as well as producing a raft of programmes for American channels. Earlier this year he won a US Emmy award for the PBS documentary "Watergate + 30". Before moving to the United States in 1999, he was Head of News Programmes and Deputy Head of Political Programmes at BBC News, Deputy Editor of Newsnight, and  a senior programme producer at ITN�s Channel 4 News.

TWI Senior Vice President Production and Business Development, Alastair Waddington, said: �I am delighted to welcome someone with Richard Clemmow�s experience to TWI. He will be a tremendous asset to us at a time when the company is seeking to underpin its existing output by exploring new territories and markets. �

Richard Clemmow  said: �I�m thrilled  to be joining a company that has the focus, resources and backing to expand successfully into new areas of production.  I�ve worked previously with executives and producers at TWI and have always admired their energy, skill and professionalism.  I�m delighted to have the opportunity help build the future success of one of the most exciting indies in the business.�
