Having blagged a first class degree in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University Greg decided to escape the lab for a career in science TV. After a fun year making (award winning!) Student TV and radio shows at Imperial while he studied for a Masters in Science Media Production Greg got spotted by the BBC and asked to present the new children’s science/invention series ‘Whizz Whizz Bang Bang’ on BBC1. He had an awesome amount of fun bringing children’s mad ideas to life – including an underwater canoe, a hover-board, robotic horse and a jet engine bed driven by The Stig – and from then he was hooked on finding cool ways to present science.
Greg’s performed explosive experiments on ‘Richard & Judy’, been seen talking genetics on Channel 4, and most recently been the resident science expert on the new BBC2 quiz show KnowItAlls hosted by Gyles Brandreth.
Having grown up in the Lake District and spent summers as an outdoor pursuits instructor Greg can still be found most weekends scrambling up a crag, being dragged at high speed behind a boat, or flying down a freshly powdered piste. He’s always keen to find new, edgy, immersive ways to push science and himself to the limit, and is currently working on some big Science Stunt ideas!
Half science geek, half adrenaline chaser, Greg’s a total Science Junkie.
