Adam
Curtis, one of Britain's most distinguished TV documentary producers,
has joined BBC Current Affairs to work on a new series about the
nineties, the BBC announced today.
Curtis
will be working for both BBC Current Affairs and Factual and Learning
departments.
He
has produced several highly acclaimed series for the BBC: Century
of the Self; The Westminster Set; Pandora's Box; and An Ocean Apart.
His series have combined intellectual fertility with penetrating
insight and story-telling imagination.
His
new series will be about the world economy in the nineties.
Head
of BBC Current Affairs, Peter Horrocks, said: "It is excellent
that Adam has rejoined the BBC and a reflection of the creative
health of current affairs on BBC TWO that he has decided that he
wants to work here."
