Dan Henry

Since debuting in the late 90s as presenter of crime-solving show Crimescene, Dan Henry has gone on to direct a range of non-fiction programmes, from Country Calendar and Here to Stay, to Lost in Libya, the acclaimed tale of the Kiwis who were part of World War II's Long Range Desert Patrol.

It was a real pleasure. They are such gracious men. To have us come into their homes and trawl their memories, and then trust us to treat those memories well in the re-telling of their stories — that’s a big thing. It was great just to sit and spend time with these men and their families. Dan Henry, on interviewing World War II veterans for documentary Lost in Libya
