I am making a profile for Discovery Channel: Human Body - Pushing the Limits (014381507553)

The documentary was produced by Dangerous Films Ltd. for Discovery Channel

The credits state

For Dangerous Films Ltd.
Producer & Graphics Director: Tim Goodchild
Directors: Dan Clifton, Mark Radice, Jeremy Turner
Executive Producer: Richard Dale
Series Producer: Martin Mortimore
Production Managers: Helen Conlan, Anne Munyard, Kate Hazell

For Discovery Channel
Executive in Charge of Production: John Ford
Executive Producers: Peter Lovering, John Grassie
Production Manager: Olivia Foster

Now who should go into the Director and Producer slots in the profile and in what order?

The 3 directors and the exec producer under Dangerous Films should get a credit.
As should the 2 exec producers under Discovery Channel.
No one else fits in our crew credit fields.

I don't know what the credits look like so I don't know if dividers would be suitable or not.

How about Tim Goodchild?  Shouldn't he get the credit for Producer?  And how/what is Executive in Charge of Production?  Isn't that what Executive Producer is?

you're right - I'd missed the producer bit for Tim Goodchild - I'd seen the graphics director bit and dismissed him.
An executive in charge of production is not the same as an executive producer and don't get credited. They oversee entire series/brandings as opposed to individual episodes/documentaries.

Agreed, north.
An Exec in CPis not an Execuive Producer, in fact xradman you nasically answered your own question. If he were an EP would he not be so credited since there are other EPs credited. An EICP is just that and Profiler, for now at least, doesn't worry about them.

Skip
