Chris Terrill

Chris Terrill is a British documentary filmmaker, author and Royal Marines Commando who is one of the most experienced and adventurous factual storytellers in British broadcasting. He has made over seventy documentary films for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and other networks, often embedding himself in extreme and dangerous environments. How to Build an Aircraft Carrier is a behind-the-scenes account of the construction and commissioning of HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Royal Navy's largest ever warship. Terrill was granted unprecedented access to document the building of the carrier, from the shipyards to the first sea trials, capturing the engineering challenges, the human stories and the sheer scale of one of the most ambitious British defence projects in decades. A former holder of the Guinness World Record as the oldest person to complete Royal Marines Commando training, Terrill brings a unique perspective to military and engineering subjects. His audiobooks and books combine insider access with compelling narrative to bring extraordinary endeavours to life.
