David Arrowsmith

David Arrowsmith worked in the television industry for over 20 years – originating, developing and producing documentaries and unscripted programming for companies such as October Films, DSP, OSF, Zig Zag, Channel 5, Granada Television and the BBC. He is passionate about sport, history, biography and true crime, and some of his key commissions include 1966: Who Stole the World Cup?, Hatton, Britain’s Bloodiest Dynasty, 8 Days That Made Rome and Adolf & Eva: Love & War. He was also involved in the development of the award-winning, Nobel Peace Prize-nominated documentary Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields. David was born and raised in London but is proudly half-Colombian. In fact, he is the great-grandson of a former president and directly descended from four more. He now lives in Hove, where his paternal great-grandfather worked in a butcher’s shop, with his family. He has played football for over 35 years and has no plans to stop just yet.
