 EMMA SKEA-STRACHAN Producer (Series 2) Emma has been a bit of a travel organising expert for over 20 years now - with huge experience planning luxury trips for the rich and famous. Now she looks after the crew...who are not so rich and not so famous! Emma has travelled extensively and has stayed and played in some of the worlds greatest resorts, spas and golf courses. She has a passion for all things furry, feathery and woolly...(Ernie the lamb pictured above)  TIM PLATTEN Cameraman (Series 1 & 2) While he may look like an extra from the Lord of the Rings (an Ork of course!), Tim is one of the most affable, creative and hard-working cameramen in England. He has worked with David Beckham and Tiger Woods, but the only thing he knows about the word "sports" is how to spell it. He boasts that he once held a national speed bicycle racing record...and that he wore Lycra doing so...hmmm... Tim makes the show look and sound good, will eat anything...the more raw the better.  JAMES FULCHER Camera Assistant (Series 2) James has been training as a Camera Assistant on broadcast cameras for 2 years. He's a member of the Guild of Television Cameramen Council - representing Camera Assistants and contributes to its magazine quarterly. His work has taken him to many diverse and obscure places, but this year with 'Inside Luxury Travel' should beat them all. In his spare time, he walk on his hands (but not very far) and plays Ultimate Frisbee (but not with his feet)!  RICHARD TAUNTON Series Editor (Series 2) Our editor Richard is best known for his award-winning work on RAD, a funky teenage extreme sports show. It ran for 9 years and won a BAFTA for "Best Children's Entertainment Programme" in 2005. While the crew is off filming the next exciting destination, Richard is editing the show in the Avid suites at Tide Post, based in central London. After a long day cutting & chopping, he treats himself to a good steak and a pint (or two) of Guinness. Having worked with extreme sports, it's no wonder that he loves to snowboard and is currently teaching his daughter to be a 'demon' on the slopes...  OLI DA COSTA Website Developer/Assistant Editor (Series 1 & 2) Oli has been involved with 'Inside Luxury Travel' for a few years and edited the one hour 'Indian Ocean Special' in 2005. Nowadays, Oli is our website developer and administrator, plugging in things like blogs and Twitter feeds, as well as editing the 100+ video clips for the website, at Fraktiv, based in Soho. Like Richard, Oli's into his extreme sports too, carting his bike and snowboard to top of mountains all over the world and throwing himself off! He even got his picture on the RAD website a few years ago...  KIM KEBLE-WHITE Marketing & Sponsorship (Series 1 & 2) Kim has held senior marketing & sponsorship roles in the hospitality business over the last 20 years, mainly within five star hotels and international resorts, bringing with him a wealth of experience and understanding of the upscale traveller. His sense of fun and style sometimes eludes him when stuck in the famous 'Road Hole' bunker on The Old Course, St. Andrews in the freezing cold, driving wind, pouring rain...  HELEN NEALE Producer (Series 1) She's really an actress - but she's a fabulous producer too. Helen gets things done...and she takes no prisoners. Her biggest regret of the series is that while the rest of the crew travelled the world - staying in some of the finest hotels and resorts, sampling fantastic cuisine, drinking stunning wines and enjoying sensational views - she made almost daily journeys to Pimlico and Soho in London...on the Underground...hmmm...not very luxury!  ALEX DAVIES Production Assistant (Series 1) Young, enthusiastic, cool...and scared of any animal that moves... Alex helps Tim with everything camera and sound-wise. She also fits into small spaces which is ideal for when we are filming in cars and planes, and has become an expert in mini-HD cameras. Least likely to say "a quarter pounder with bacon" (she's a vegetarian) Most likely to say "hello, my name is Alex...is that a 16mm or 35mm camera in your hand..." (she likes single cameramen)! |
