+He began studying photography in England, moved into television in London, and later co-founded a production company with actress, production assistant and editor [[Lillias Bode]] (néé [[Lillias Tait]]), his creative partner on most projects for decades.
 From studio dramas and art shows to documentaries and game shows, he’s worked across nearly every format — often with a camera in one hand and a mission in the other. Ranging from anti-apartheid documentaries to cultural celebrations, Peter’s work has always had purpose. Career highlights include directing Cape Town’s Olympic bid video, ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'', ''Nigerian Idol'', and a year filming East Africa's ''Got Talent'' in Kenya. His memoir ''Pidgin and Pepper Soup'' (2024) shares four wild years of producing television in Nigeria.
