Today I’m going to be talking to the lovely BAFTA award winning and Emmy nominated cinematographer Tim Cragg.

Tim has set the standard for how a lot of modern documentaries look and feel and has been involved with some of the most successful (both critically and financially) documentaries in recent times. From Netflix successes such as The Deepest Breath and Beckham and HBO & SKY BAFTA nominated David Holmes: The boy who lived, to that rare beast, a documentary box office smash with Three identical Strangers, which we discuss in the show.

Ursula Macfarlane - Director

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, June 16, 2026 • Duration 52:34

In this episode I’m going to be talking to 4 time BAFTA nominee, director Ursula Macfarlane.

Whether working on retrospective stories, like the tragedy of the late 1990s model Anna Nicole Smith, telling the moving stories of survivors of Harvey Weinstein, or her vérité work with psychiatric patients in Notes From The Inside With James Rhodes, Ursula is known for her sensitivity, her humour and psychological insight.

We discuss the joy in Finding those long time collaborators, her beautiful BBC documentary, My brain: After the rupture and the difficulties in getting films commissioned that don’t have an ending,

But most importantly. It begins where all good chats start. With a good cup of tea.
