TV & Media
What Sam could bring to television.
Fourteen years as a professional fighter gave Sam the backstory. What makes him castable is what happens when you point a camera at him and ask a question: he answers it, he's funny about it, and none of it is performed.

Coming Soon
A 60–90 second reel of Sam talking, off the cuff, currently in production. Early access available to producers on request.
Genres
Where he fits
Factual Entertainment
Programmes involving real people, unfamiliar environments, challenges and humour — situations where the reactions cannot be manufactured. Sam is a natural fit as a lead or a strong ensemble presence.
Challenge / Adventure
Physical challenge formats, travel, outdoor and endurance programmes, SAS-style series — and anything that takes Sam completely outside his comfort zone.
Documentary
Boxing, working-class Britain, retirement from professional sport, identity after sport, men's lives and the communities that produce fighters. Contributor or presenter-led.
Entertainment / Reality
Personality-led formats where humour, honesty and a willingness to get involved matter more than presenting experience.
Boxing
Commentary, fight-night analysis, contributor roles, fight programming and boxing documentary — the specialist end of his range, not the whole of it.
Concepts
Format ideas
Starting points for development teams — each one rooted in something Sam has genuinely lived, and open to being taken apart and rebuilt.
Documentary
When the Bell Stops
What actually happens to professional fighters when the career ends — money, identity, health, purpose — with Sam's own transition as the central thread and his contacts across British boxing opening doors nobody else gets through.
Factual entertainment
Sam Gets a Proper Job
Sam has never had a normal job. Each episode he tries one: trawlermen, firefighters, farmers, scaffolders, posties, mountain rescue, night-shift factory work. He is genuinely useless at some of it and genuinely good at some of it, and he is honest about which is which.
Factual entertainment
Sam vs…
A flexible format dropping Sam into situations with nothing to do with fighting. The comedy comes from watching a man entirely comfortable getting punched in the face discover the things he is absolutely not comfortable doing.
Documentary
The Hard Way
A wider film about working-class Britain through the gyms that raise fighters — the trainers, the parents, the kids, and what the sport gives and takes.
Factual / social
Fighting Chance
Sam works with young people who are drifting, using the gym as the way in — discipline, routine, showing up, and what happens over a year.
Entertainment / boxing
