Heydon Prowse

Given the issue-based, campaigning nature of Heydon’s films, the charity/NGO sector became an important part of his client base, which led to Heydon’s work as a producer/director on films for the likes of Amnesty International, Global Witness and Greenpeace that directly changed corporate and government policy on behalf of his clients.

Heydon continued to direct documentaries for the likes of Vice and The Guardian as well as presenting documentaries for BBC Three and Channel 4. He hosted and wrote the successful BBC Two documentary called The Town That Took on The Taxman, which gained international press coverage and was remade for Dutch television. Heydon was also the journalist host on the branded content documentary The Most Dangerous Town on the Internet for Norton Antivirus which won two Cannes Lion Golds.

As a natural progression from online content to television, Heydon began co-creating, writing and starring in numerous comedy shows including BBC Three’s The Revolution Will Be Televised, which Heydon wrote and starred in and which won a BAFTA, a Rose d’Or and a Broadcast Award over three seasons. Other comedy shows included Democracy Dealers on BBC Three and Revolting on BBC Two.

Most recently Heydon co-wrote and performed in The Ministry of Justice on Channel 4 – a three part satirical comedy series where he, alongside Jolyon Rubinstein, went undercover to explore the UK’s world of crime and anti-social behaviour.
