Timothy David Samuels (born 3 October 1975)[1] is an English documentary filmmaker, author and broadcaster.[2] His work is characterised by approaching serious topics in provocative and entertaining ways to produce hard-hitting documentaries.[3] Samuels formed older people's rock group The Zimmers for a BBC documentary and is a regular presenter on BBC television and radio in the UK.[4] He has been referred to as a younger British Michael Moore, but without the political agenda.[5][6] Samuels has won three Royal Television Society awards and best documentary at the World Television Festival in Banff.
