Exceptional Production

As a multi-camera TV director, I’ve directed some of the UK’s most iconic entertainment shows. From live broadcasts to pre-recorded spectacles, I excel in turning creative visions into reality, combining technical precision with artistic flair.

A Personal Journey

My love for television began at six years old at the Elstree Film Studio children’s Christmas party. My father, who worked there, had tragically passed away the day before I was born. That day, under the studio lights and among the magic of a pirate ship set, I knew I had to be a director.

Despite living with dyslexia, I’ve embraced technology to overcome challenges and tell my stories. Computers became my ally, and cameras my voice. Today, I’m passionate about helping others find their voice—whether on stage or behind the scenes.

Mentorship & Giving Back

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the generosity of mentors and sponsors who believed in me. That’s why I actively mentor and lecture, helping the next generation of television creatives find their place in the industry.

If you’re looking for guidance, advice, or collaboration, I’m always happy to chat. Drop me an email, and let’s talk!

I’ve worked all over the world for Endemolshine and Fremantle and many national broadcasters. I’ve lectured at universities and spoken at most international markets.

Hi, I’m Jonathan a TV Director and Executive Producer. This is my own Jonathan Glazier TV Director My Story. It began many years ago at the Elstree film studio children’s Christmas party. I was six years old, invited even though my dad, Peter Glazier, who worked there had died. He died the day before I was born, which is, of course, very sad. As I walked in I looked up at the lights, marvelled at the bits of camera gear left on display and then there was the setting, a fantastic pirate ship, I was hooked on the business from that very moment, I had to be a director!

I used to sit and watch the films my Dad worked on; he was an art director. I could sit with his designs and storyboards on my lap as I watched. And for the original Gregory Peck version of Moby Dick, I could follow the script, which I still have, one of my prized possessions. And now I am an Executive Producer, former head of BBC formats and entertainment; I’m also a multi-camera director. My Linkedin profile has more details.

I have extensive experience in many genres throughout the world, notably SE Asia. In the UK I’ve won awards and worked in Australia, New Zealand and Europe. I have directed many major T.V. shows both live and recorded. I am known for my calm approach and a great relationship with production, talent and crew alike. I am adaptable while maintaining the vision, and I have very high standards. I’m a known problem solver, and my experience in the industry means I can offer technical expertise with very creative flair. My experience also means my executives and channel bosses get some sleep; they know I will deliver the show on time, budget and with creative flair

Currently, I’m the EP and director of series 3 of Asia’s Got Talent. I helped develop an idea called sadeem.com; now, in cycle three, it’s a major digital-first project for Al Jazeera. I directed the popular BBC Game show Pointless, and the live channel 4 show Million Pound Drop. Add to that large scale music direction, both live and recorded, is a speciality. Most recently a massive concert in Indonesia featuring some great regional talent and Dua Lip Headlined. I also directed shows with legends like Sir Tom Jones, Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, and The Spice Girls. I just returned from working with Endemolshine on a game show in Singapore which he developed from an idea from Israel. Jonathanʼs career spans many years in the industry at every level; he has directed most of the classic entertainment shows in the UK.

I love my job, every day is a learning curve, and Iʼve never dreaded getting to the studio, and yes on show day I still get nervous but good nerves of excitement.

You can ask me anything my contact details are here. Everyone calls me JG
