Nick Fraser has been editor of Storyville since it started in 1997. He describes it as “a good deed of the BBC,” and, he says, “films shown on STORYVILLE come from anywhere in the world, and deal with any subject – this is a relatively new idea.”

Nick Fraser was born in London in 1948, to a British father and French mother. In 1969 he graduated from Exeter College, Oxford with a first class degree in English. He has worked as a reporter and television producer and editor. He has lived in London mainly, but also New York and Paris. Books published by him include a biography of Eva Peron, and The Voice of Modern Hatred, a study of extremism and race hate in contemporary Europe. Short Books published his book The Importance of Being Eton in 2006. He admits to a “persistent, undefeatable belief in the power of reason”. He is proud of being a contributing editor of Harper’s Magazine in New York, “the best magazine in the world”, in which his essays about the BBC, Isaiah Berlin and anti-Americanism have been published. Nick Fraser also writes cultural commentary for the Observer and travel pieces for Conde Nast Traveller.

In recent years, Nick Fraser says his primary distraction and obsessional activity has been watching documentaries. “They are getting to be the rock and roll of our time” he says “They are the most promising cultural form. They may not always fill the right slot, or get the ratings we’d like; but they do tell us what the world is like. The greatest discovery I’ve made at STORYVILLE is that you cannot stop brilliant documentaries from being made - by now they exist independently of television. Someone will always be able to make a film - but it’s much more difficult now, the climate is very difficult - even if we in television don’t finance it. But of course that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be financing good films” In recent years films shown on STORYVILLE have won many major awards, including three Oscars, a Grand Jury prize at Sundance, several Griersons and several Emmy’s.

Nick Fraser was series editor on the Why Democracy? Series for the BBC. The project launched on 7 October 2007 with simultaneous broadcasts in 42 countries and has since won countless awards including the 2008 Peabody award.

He is a contributing editor for Harper’s Magazine (New York). Recent articles have tackled subjects as Isaiah Berlin, J.G. Ballard and The Habsburgs and Arthur Koestler. At present he is writing a piece about The Hague as the centre of the World’s prototype system for prosecuting war criminals and dictators.

Charles Nordlander is Vice President of Development and Programming for HISTORY™, a position he assumed in August 2007. In this role, Nordlander has served as HISTORY executive producer for series such as BATTLE 360, EVOLVE and SANDHOGS, which have pushed the visual, narrative and dramatic boundaries that define how stories for HISTORY are told. In this regard, EXPEDITION AFRICA represents HISTORY’s most ambitious series to date. Nordlander also oversees a team of programmers responsible for the development and creation of original series and specials for the network. Additionally, he is charged with creating and implementing innovative programming strategies that expand the brand across multiple platforms including history.com. Prior to joining HISTORY, Nordlander served from 2005 to 2007 as Vice President, Program Development for the Food Network, where he had the distinction of being the channel’s first-ever head of development. While there, he was charged with reinventing the primetime schedule through the creation of new entertainment-based food programs designed to appeal to a broader, “non-foodie” audience. During his tenure, he developed and launched a slate of original primetime series, including Ace of Cakes, which have consistently ranked among that network’s top-rated shows. He is also credited with creating innovative formats for food programming that included docusoaps, as well as reality and character-driven travel shows, and introducing compelling new creative talent to the network that helped lower the network’s median age. Previously, he was the Director of Lifestyle Programming for A&E Network®, from 2004 to 2005. During his tenure, he was responsible for redeveloping and expanding the network’s block of lifestyle programming. His successes included co-creating and developing the innovative series, Flip This House, which brought a character-driven docuseries format to the lifestyle genre. Flip broke out to become a primetime hit for A&E. Nordlander also created a cross-promotional relationship with Microsoft’s Windowsmedia.com that generated wide exposure for the network’s lifestyle programming. Prior to that, Nordlander was the co-founder and partner in Glow in the Dark Productions, Inc., a New York-based production company that created and produced original programming for numerous networks including Sci-Fi, HBO Family, HISTORY, TV Land and Food Network. Earlier in his career, Nordlander was the head writer and producer for the PBS series Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? and Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? [ Minimize ]
