 Martin Pailthorpe is a television producer and director with 15 years' experience of making challenging programmes in remote and testing environments.

He is currently working on series 3 of  `Monty Halls' Great Escape' - Series 1 followed  Monty as he and his manic dog Rueben moved into an abandonned cowshed on the West Coast of Scotland to live the `good life'.  Its  run on BBC2 attracted nearly three million viewers.

Series 2 saw Monty working as an environmental ranger in the Outer Hebrides - previews and reviews for the current run on BBC2 on Wednesday evenings have been uniformly positive!

Series 3 sees him moving to Ireland, to work alongside a local whale and dolphin conservation group while living in the jaw-droppingly beautiful village of Roundstone, in Connemara

Previous projects include working with Ray Mears, Chris Ryanand Bear Grylls, supervising two production teams climbing to the top of Everest, filming with wildlife as diverse as sharksand albatross , and working in temperatures from -35 in Siberia to 110 degrees in the Australian Outback.

From Tibet and China to Australia and New Zealand, from Alaska to the Falkland Islands, he has taken thousands of photographs of the people and places he has visited, and they are displayed on this website, along with those taken closer to his home in the Westcountry.

His films can regularly be seen on The BBC and Discovery Channel.

He can be booked for talks and lectures, either directly, or through Spellbound Talks

His photographs can be orderd in a number of formats, from postcards to poster-sized canvasses.
