BBC NEWS - swing voters in swing constituencies

PRODUCED AND DIRECTED

A significant proportion of the electorate were undecided on who they would vote for in the 2024 General Election. We decided we had to meet them and hear why.

Louis Harris-White and I were asked to develop a new format to go on iPlayer focussing on the people behind the polls. We wanted to make a fun, original and slightly eccentric set of programmes for iPlayer on swing voters.

In this roadshow format, we drove a branded ‘Swinger’ camper van across Great Britain in which these undecided voters could take a moment to reflect on what matters to them, how it relates to politics and how they might vote.

Within just a fortnight our stellar team of four travelled over 1300 miles, heard from 30 swing voters in four carefully-chosen constituencies, scripted, edited and delivered four final episodes on platform.
