Told from the point of view of an English trader working in the North Tower of the World Trade Centre, the poem-film Out of the Blue was commissioned by Channel 5 and broadcast five years after the 9/11 attacks on America. It won the 2006 Royal Television Society Documentary Award. We May Allow Ourselves a Brief Period of Rejoicing (a quote from one of Churchill's post-war speeches) was also commissioned by Channel 5, and broadcast on the sixtieth anniversary of V.E. Day. The radio-poem Cambodia was commissioned by the BBC for The Violence of Silence, a radio drama set in today's Cambodia thirty years after the rise of the Khmer Rouge.
