Richard Driver's break into TV came as host of Radio with Pictures - but it is behind the scenes that the former lead singer (Pop Mechanix) has made a career. His first foray into directing was the documentary Hokonui Todd; and he ran his own production company, Visionary TV, creating programmes like Give it a Whirl and the award winning Love, Speed and Loss. He is now the owner and programmer of Sky TV's Documentary Channel.
It’s very satisfying, I think, when you look back to have been part of a broadcast industry. You meet fascinating people – and everyone along the way you learn from. You learn good things and how not to do things. So I‘m really happy to have had this accidental career in television.
