Simon Broadley worked in television for more than 30 years, both for broadcasters including the BBC, ITV, LWT, STV, Sky, MTV and IMG, and a range of independent production companies, in London and the regions.
He first worked with the NFTS in 2013, when he designed and then led the Factual Development and Production Diploma, a part-time, year-long course delivered in partnership with Discovery Networks Europe. After ten years, the course was reimagined with a new sponsor, Prime Video, and rebranded as the Unscripted Development Diploma.
In 2023, Simon became Head of TV Entertainment at the NFTS, with responsibility for the Directing & Producing Television Entertainment MA. In 2027, the MA will undergo an exciting reinvention as the Developing and Producing Unscripted Formats MA, with a refreshed purpose and a contemporary focus on the skills and creative approaches required to develop and produce the next generation of unscripted television.
