To mark the 40th anniversary of the discovery of the world’s most famous ship, this two-part Channel 4 series dives deep into the incredible story of how the Titanic was finally found after seven decades on the ocean floor. Featuring first-person testimony from those who took part in the historic expedition alongside insights from maritime experts and leading historians.
Editor Melanie Golden said: “This is one of those edits where the more the story unfolds, the more exciting it becomes, I’m grateful to have been part of telling the lesser-known story of finding the Titanic.”
Merging fantasy with reality, strategy, and travel, Destination X is not your average adventure competition. This bold new series takes contestants and viewers on the road trip of a lifetime but with one major twist: nobody knows where they are.
Once aboard the blacked-out Destination X bus, the real game begins. Contestants must use all their intuition, observation, and teamwork to decode clues about their ever-changing, top-secret locations. Each challenge on the journey offers hints and a few strategic red herrings, all building to one burning question: Where in the world are they?
Guiding us through the deception and discovery is Rob Brydon, who serves as both host and master of mischief in this high stakes guessing game.
We’re proud to see so many familiar faces from Satusfaction behind the edit of this epic series. Shout out to the talented team who helped bring the twists and turns to life: James Moriarty, Tim Fielding, Mike Kerr, Dave Berezai, Simon Holmes, Paul Bussey, Harry Anstey, and Sean Siegfried.
Dave Berezai shares that it was fantastic to work on this new competition show. The team shot in some beautiful places around Europe so some of the footage was jaw dropping. I did the finishing across 2 episodes. It was effects heavy, both visually and aurally which made for a very intricate edit and was a lot of fun to put together. The end result; a stylish, exciting, fun elimination show.
Paul Bussey said “What a privilege to be asked to work on Destination X. Right from the off I could see production values were high and this only inspired me to elevate my own input. Everyone who had worked on this smashed it.”
Check out Destination X from 30th July on BBC One, iPlayer and NBC
Phil Bowman directed and edited the next episode due out in Netflix’s Trainwreck anthology which revisits some of the most gripping and bizarre events that once dominated the mainstream media. Back in 2010, Lifetime Channel had a brand new concept of a reality show. It would follow a private investigation agency staffed entirely by suburban ‘soccer moms’. It was a clever twist on the true-crime craze. Cameras rolled, contracts were signed, and the production team geared up for what they were certain would be a breakout hit. But the show never made it to air. As the documentary reveals, things began to unravel quickly on set of Soccer Moms, Private Eyes The moms’ investigations meant to be the heart of the show kept falling apart. Leads dried up. Surveillance missions failed. Key interviews were mysteriously cancelled. The crew began whispering about sabotage. Then, an anonymous tip blew the whole thing wide open. A whistleblower accused the agency’s head, the woman at the center of the show, of running an illegal drug operation using the PI business as a front. Now, 15 years later, this documentary directed and edited by Phil Bowman, uncovers what really happened behind the scene and its far stranger than fiction..
Phil said “It’s been an absolute privilege to contribute to the ‘Trainwreck’ brand, especially with a project as unique and fun as ‘Trainwreck: P.I. Moms’. The documentary dives deep into the chaotic story behind the scenes of what was truly the greatest reality TV show that never made it to air. It’s a fun journey, and I can’t wait for Netflix audiences to experience it. Thanks to the teams at Raw TV and Satusfaction for their invaluable support.”

Mr and Mrs Murder. Plum Pictures for Hulu and Disney+
Mr. & Mrs. Murder is a gripping four-part true crime docuseries, set in Tallahassee, Florida, it follows two seemingly inseparable couples: Kathy and Brian Winchester, and their close friends Mike and Denise Williams. Church-going and outdoorsy, they were pillars of their social circle until Mike vanished without a trace in 2000 during a duck-hunting trip. At first, it was believed to be a tragic accident. But when Brian divorced Kathy and later married Mike’s widow, Denise, suspicions mounted. What followed was a decades-long unravelling of lies, with a determined Kathy at its core, fighting for answers, justice, and the truth.
While many true-crime series rely on heavy drama reconstructions Mr. & Mrs. Murder takes a different route. Editor Franco Bogino shares insight into the documentary’s aesthetic: “There was no drama recon, just some vignettes that we called ‘haunted portraits’. They were moody, slightly surreal sets that represented a section of the story in an abstract kind of way. They were used very sparingly across the series and had no actors. The rest was purely interviews, beautiful GVs and lots of archive, mostly personal archive, and news archive from periods where the story was being covered. The story covers a 20-year span.”
Franco also praised the collaborative approach in the edit: “The director was a real pleasure to work with, he had a really clear vision but was flexible and open to suggestions. Once we’d done the first round of editing, he was very collaborative in bringing together differing creative ideas. The editor for episode 1 helped set the tone across the series and was great fun to work with. He and the director have worked together for years, so there was a real shared vision.”
Despite the challenges of working on such a layered story with a tight schedule, Franco reflects on the experience positively “This story had so much good material that it was hard getting it down to time. But having the EP01 editor available across all episodes made a huge difference. Plum Pictures were also really good to work with friendly, supportive, practical. A pleasant experience all round. And it’s not often I say that”
Mr and Mrs Murder will be streaming from the 30th July on Hulu and Disney+
The new instalment of this series is Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 edited by Charlie Webb. Back in 2019, 20-year-old Matty Roberts created a joke Facebook event titled “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us.” What started as a tongue-in-cheek post quickly spiralled out of control. As the event went viral, with millions of people marking themselves as “going,” the U.S. Air Force and FBI swiftly responded with serious warnings. Trespassing on military property, they reminded everyone, could be met with deadly force. It didn’t stop the internet. Memes exploded. Plans were drawn to “Naruto-run” past bullets. People dressed up in sexy alien costumes and festival-style raves were planned in the Nevada desert.
This drama-documentary is packed with high-energy VFX, blending interviews with viral YouTubers, military commanders, and UFO hunters. Editor Charlie Webb said “I really enjoyed working with the team. The characters in the series are larger than life , almost comic book like and the story is just absurd. So we really leaned into that visually and tonally . We also worked very hard to capture the craziness of the internet and what was going on in people’s minds throughout, so it is vfx heavy. I’m really excited for people to finally see it as it’s very different to what else is out there”
Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 drops on Netflix on the 29th July.

Adam Mitchell edited episode 2 ‘Wolves’. Adam said “It was a real joy to work on Jimmy Saves the Bears. And it was wonderful to be back working with Red Sky. It was challenging to re-work the programme from already edited footage but the end result speaks volumes of the team effort from all involved in the production”.
Jimmy Doherty’s Big Bear Rescue premieres this Sunday 6th July at 8pm on Channel 4

Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure ITV
Former Deal or No Deal host Noel Edmonds has embraced a new chapter in life, relocating to New Zealand’s South Island with his wife Liz in search of a slower pace and a deeper connection to nature.
Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure follows his journey as he sets down roots in the Tasman region, launching a hospitality venture in the rural town of Ngatimoti that includes a vineyard, coffee cart, general store, and restaurant.

From extreme weather and earthquakes to the importance of sustainable farming, all while celebrating the warmth and resilience of the local people. This series answers long-standing questions about Edmonds’ life after television.
Editor Ian David Smith who worked across Episodes 1, 2 and the Pre-titles said “ It was a tricky edit but I had a lot of fun working on this.

Noel Edmunds Kiwi Adventure starts on Friday 20th June 9pm on ITV1
Working in Soho, London on the 7th July 2005, I remember in the morning hearing about the bomb going off and worrying that friends and colleagues may have been on the tube at the time. This documentary looks at what happened that day when four British men detonated suicide bombs on London’s transport system during the busy rush hour, killing 52 people and injuring over 700. Just two weeks later, a failed second attack triggered the UK’s largest-ever manhunt and led to the fatal police shooting of an innocent man. What followed was three weeks of national panic, rising paranoia, and a desperate race to stop further attacks.
Told by those who experienced it, this four-part series takes viewers deep inside the investigation that unfolded in the aftermath of the attacks, a period that changed Britain forever. With a blend of powerful testimony, archive footage, and high-tension drama, Attack on London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers reveals how authorities scrambled to make sense of the chaos and prevent more bloodshed, all while the country reeled in shock.
We’re proud to highlight the work of editors Jennifer Hampson ( Ep 1) and Duncan Hill ( Ep 2) , who brought their expertise to this intense and emotionally charged series. Their sensitive and compelling editing plays a vital role in telling this story with clarity and respect.
Jennifer said “ An incredible team came together to bring this project to life, We’re profoundly thankful to everyone who courageously shared their experiences and entrusted us with telling this significant chapter of our history.”
Duncan said “Episode 2 was brain achingly difficult. Imagine trying to explain why the bombs went off, jump back in time to show the build-up, then cut to a real-time police investigation — all while clinging desperately to the actual timeline of events like it was the last life raft on the Titanic. It was narrative chaos and timeline Tetris all at once. By the end, I wasn’t sure if I’d edited a documentary or survived a psychological thriller but I’m really pleased with the results.”
London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers will be available to watch to watch on Netflix from the 1st July.
