COMMISSIONING WITH JUSTIN BINDING (BBC NORTHERN IRELAND)

Justin has been the Commissioning Executive for BBC Northern Ireland for more than five years, during which time he has been executive producer across a range of genre from documentaries, specialist factual, features, arts, obs-doc, history as well as comedy, entertainment and fact–ent programmes.

A number of his projects have either been co-produced or transferred to the BBC Networks or to other broadcasters: Dig WW2 with Dan Snow, The Belfast Blitz, Bomb Squad Men, Boys of St Columbs, Getaways, Titanic with Len Goodman, Dive WW2 and Danny Boy have all raised the bar by being exported to other broadcasters.

Recently Justin has launched and delivered some of the first films into BBC NI's new high profile documentary strand True North; The Wall, Summer on Rathlin, Life and Times of Master Hamilton and Run Grandad Run all helping to establish True North's unique view of contemporary Northern Ireland. Justin is also Executive Producer on BBC NI's Comedy output looking after firm audience favourites like The Blame Game, Monumental, The David Meade Project and Funny on the Foyle.

Working with the independent sector and in-house production, Justin runs BBC Northern Ireland’s commissioning and development slate across all programmes and is BBC Northern Ireland’s first point of contact for the submission of new ideas and proposals; Justin works closely with the Head of Television on the development of new ideas and they run a rolling commissioning process.

Belfast Harbour Talent Labs promise to provide participants, aged 15-25, helpful advice and career guidance from industry professionals practicing in various areas of the film and television industry. The Belfast Harbour Talent Labs are supported by Arts & Business NI Investment Programme.
