ABOUT SIMON YOUNG
Head of History at the BBC, overseeing everything from the critically acclaimed 9/11: Inside the President\'s War Room and the Sundance-premiering Untouchable: The Rise and Fall of Harvey Weinstein, to box-set hits such as Rise of the Nazis and A Dangerous Dynasty: House of Assad, and returning series such as Who Do You Think You Are? and A House Through Time. Prior to this, I worked at National Geographic Channel, where my commissions included the series Dian Fossey: Secrets in the Mist. I have also worked extensively in independent TV production in the UK, exec-producing the headline-grabbing Channel 4 documentaries about the discovery of King Richard including the award-winning Richard The King in the Car Park. These highlights have built on my experience as a writer, producer and director for US, UK and International broadcasters.
