Paul Denchfield

Grew up in central London, London is also where my grandparents on both sides of my family also grew up and along with being almost 100% British possibly makes me a contender for have the most boring background of any given Londoner.

I am the last out of four kids – and the only blond member of my family, which has led to rumors about if my family really is mine – but if you saw my parents there’s no getting away it.

Left school at sixteen and worked for a fashion photographer – Got onto Operation Raleigh and
sailed from the Seychelles to South Africa – stopping to work in a polio clinic in Kenya. This got me into sailing – landed a job delivering a wreck of a 150ft three mastered schooner topsail back to Britain form the Caribbean. There were just 11 of us & it was the scariest adventure I ever embarked on. After that I co-lead a four man expedition to the Sahara still just 21.

On my return I became a photographic agent with a woman called Jo Clarke for a year and half then left to go on a 6 week holiday to South America – where I met a girl in La Paz, so got a flat and a job.

Once the relationship broke down I traveled up north and hitched on sailing boats back to Europe. When I got back home I started working as a runner for a TV production company – Currently I’m a Producer/Director and have filmed in over 25 countries around the world.

Productions include This Morning, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, London's Hollywood, Britain's Worst Teenager, Moving Day, K9 Boot Camp, A Place in the Sun, Street Crime, Crimefighters, This London,Beyond Boiling Point, Dinner Dates, Catch me if you Can, Wanted and The Big Breakfast.
