Ben Paul - Head of Entertainment


BEN PAUL CROP.jpg

After starting his career as Dale Winton’s runner on Supermarket Sweep Ben felt his career could only go down hill. Ben spent 5 years at the BBC before hitting the Indie sector to produce shows starting only with the letter “B” from Big Breakfast to Banzai to Big Brother. 
He’s also given first breaks to some of the most liked and arguably most disliked talent on TV today. He claims responsibility for TV debuts for Peter Kay, Jimmy Carr and Russell Brand – producing and directing the latter’s first ever television comedy series.

After working with many of the top Indies from Endemol to RDF to Objective, he joined Zig Zag where he and his team have created a new slate of soon-to-be award winning television.  These include a shocking new reality show for the Fox network in the US, an extraordinary reality series for MTV UK and a unique comedy gameshow show for T4.
