BROADCAST MEDIA

Television, together with national as well as regional radio, have played a major part in Chris Warwick’s career since his very earliest guest appearances on popular UK talk shows such as TV-am, Good Morning Britain and Richard and Judy. As an authoritative voice he has regularly been invited to comment on topical royal issues for national broadcasters including BBC News, ITV, Channel 4 News and Sky News; for BBC World Service, BBC 5 Live, and regional radio, including his local station BBC Radio Berkshire.
 

As a freelance royal commentator for broadcasters at home and abroad (including over ten years' coverage with Canadian Television News (CTV)), Christopher has provided analysis and commentary for any number of royal events. Among the more major celebrations and commemorations were The Queen's Golden- and Diamond Jubilees, her landmark 90th and 95th birthdays, the deaths of Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (the latter involving 5 hours of live, non-stop coverage), and the weddings of The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall and the dukes and duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex. He was also widely interviewed by British, North American, German and Australian broadcasters covering the death and Ceremonial Funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. For broadcasters in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia, Christopher gave interviews regarding Prince Andrew, Duke of York and the unprecedented removal of his military and service appointments, royal patronages and official use of his status as a royal highness.

For many years, television documentaries have  been a prominent part of Chris Warwick’s career.  Among them was the  two-part Princess Margaret – The Rebel Royal, produced and directed by Hannah Berryman, on which Christopher acted as consultant and contributor.  First shown on BBC 2 in the UK  to an audience of 4.8 million viewers, the documentary was released by the BBC as a DVD and short-listed for the Grierson Award in the Best Entertaining Documentary category.
