development producer (comedy garage)

Nina was brainwashed by the likes of The Marx Brothers, Tony Hancock, Jacques Tati, Max Wall and The Young Ones from an early age.  So when the opportunity to join the BBC later presented itself, she jumped at the chance (even if it was through an unguarded maintenance tunnel in White City!)

After 3 years as a Production Co-ordinator working in the studios at the heart of Television Centre, Nina was abducted by TALKBACKthames and put to work on various programmes such as Nevermind the Buzzcocks, Daisy Daisy, Demetri Martin Comedy Lab, Monkey Dust, How Clean Is Your House and The Apprentice to name a few.  She progressed through the ranks to become a Production Manager and has also managed programmes for Endemol and Princess Productions.

Nina is working with the team at Screenplay Productions to cultivate and unleash a new wave of talent on the industry.
