So fabulous to be nominated for 3 RTS and RTS West awards for To Catch A Copper. I wanted to take this opportunity to big up @hugopettitt who produced the series and worked relentlessly to make it the best it could. He was fearless and bold and kind and got what we needed for the films through trust, genuine care and deep consideration for those he builds relationships with.

We’re so proud To Catch A Copper won the award for Best Documentary Series at the Broadcast Awards. This week we learnt police complaints have risen 13pc as a result of the series and we’re so pleased it’s having an impact that will hopefully improve policing and people’s experience of it. Big thanks to the judges for recognising the show. ❤️‍🔥

This beautiful project honours the memory of those lost in the fire and creates an empowering moment of healing for those still dealing with its aftermath.”

For me September 2024 marks ten wonderful years of filmmaking. I wanted to look back at the amazing moments I’ve been lucky to be part of and the very special people behind and in front of the camera that I’ve had the privilege to meet. I’ve learnt so much, and it’s so nice to feel that filmmaking can be such an important and meaningful thing for everyone involved. Thanks to all of you who have been part of the journey with me and I can’t wait for many more films. 💗

I’m so pleased that To Catch A Copper has been shortlisted for a Grierson award and so proud Channel 4 has commissioned a further two series.

Since the series was released it has prompted some incredibly meaningful and impactful conversations around policing and forced Avon and Somerset force to properly look at itself in a way it’s never seen before. But still one of the most horrific cases in the series - and the most obvious example of gross misconduct - remains unresolved. So many people have messaged me with horrific stories about the police - and most are messaging me because they feel the system has failed them.

Whilst I won’t be directing the new series i’m so pleased this in-depth police scrutiny will continue on Channel 4.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
