Biography

As a Cornish youth, Liam spent many hours at the seashore, fishing before turning his film making skills towards angling, directing and editing more than 300 fishing programmes before moving into presenting them. In 1997, the BBC offered his first prime-time series on Friday nights, “The Big Catch”, which took viewers around the world with Liam to see some of the largest species known to man being landed on rod and line. Dale directs and produces topics from Jane Austen to ancient steam trains, ghosts and witches to giant fish species.
