The Team

TTV’s principals are Torquil Boyd and Glyn Strong.

Torquil Boyd (right) has worked in the television industry for  more than 30 years. He has written and directed five television series  and  won international recognition for his films on  defence and veterans. He  brings the same creative energy to web-based or short corporate videos as he does to documentaries or TV series.  The subjects he has filmed are diverse and eclectic – from billion dollar city dealings  to the plight of  homeless street dwellers.  Torquil is a fanatical cook and fly fisherman. He is interested in military history and has provenance in the defence and charity sector.

Torquil has trained and mentored many young media professionals and developed TTV to become the flexible organisation it is today. With Glyn he offers media training, consultancy and bespoke multi-media packages to charities and small businesses. Contact Torquil
