Tim Tate is a British author, documentary maker and investigative journalist.
Early life and education[edit]
Tate was born in Calcutta in 1956. At the age of eight he told his parents that he was going to be a writer. After attempting without success to enrol at universities to study English, he instead did a theology degree at the University of St Andrews, which he says has caused him embarrassment ever since. He began law school but left to become a journalist.[1]
Career[edit]
Tate worked for fours years on regional newspapers, including the Yorkshire Post, before joining Checkpoint, an investigative series on BBC Radio 4 hosted by Roger Cook. In 1985 he joined Cook at Central Television and worked for five years on the investigative series The Cook Report. He has also made documentaries for the Yorkshire Television programme First Tuesday and for Al Jazeera, where he worked for four years. His production company, Interesting Films, has made documentaries for British and international broadcasters.[1] As of 2018, he lived in Wiltshire.[2]
