Dance club 'with a conscience'


A nightclub owner claims he has opened the UK's first eco-friendly venue in London.

Self-styled 'Dr Earth' suggests the dancefloor at Surya is energy-generating, supplying power back to the club.

I went down to take a look. Here’s the video I shot and edited for BBC News.

Beatles memorabilia auction


Iconic rock memorabilia has just been auctioned for millions at Christies in London.

Trousers once worn by Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's drum skin were some of the highlights to go under the hammer.

I took a look at the goods before they went on sale, in a video I shot and edited for the BBC.

Contestants set for jelly comp


This has to be the oddest video I’ve produced so far.

Here you can see entries for an architectural jelly competition, designed by world leading architects such as Grimshaw and Foster, include the ex-wobbly Millennium Bridge.

No place like dome


It has only been a year since Bon Jovi strummed his first chords at the public opening of London's O2 arena.

Since then the former Millennium Dome has become the most popular music venue in the world

But why has the O2, in Greenwich, south-east London, been such a success, and has it damaged other music venues?

Here’s a feature I wrote on the venue and video giving a backstage tour I produced and edited for BBC News.

At risk


As English Heritage releases a list of sites considered to be at risk, I produced videos for BBC News to explore six of them. Nick Higham did the interview for Bowes railway, I did the rest.
