Keith Wilson
Keith has a knack for finding the heart of a story, whether he’s navigating emotionally sensitive true crime, observational documentary or a character-led factual format. Editing long-form television since 2007, he combines versatility with a strong sense of structure, pace and character, and has also played a key role in shaping new formats and refreshing established ones.
True crime has become a particular strength. Keith was Lead Editor on Murder in the Sun, Rob Rinder: The Crime I Can’t Forget and Fatal Fraud, alongside editing two series of World’s Most Dangerous Prisoners. The latter was shortlisted for Best New Episodic Series at the True Crime Awards 2025. Working with sensitive first-hand accounts, archive and actuality, Keith knows how to build tension and complexity without losing sight of the people at the centre of the story.
His wider work ranges from the long-running observational series 999: On the Frontline to World’s Most Dangerous Roads, Dorset: Country and Coast and The World’s Most Luxurious Train, demonstrating an ability to move comfortably between documentary and factual entertainment.
Keith also edited Andy Oxley and Joshua Gaunt’s short documentary Drainspotting, which has enjoyed an impressive festival run, winning Best Short Documentary at the San Francisco Frozen Film Festival 2024 and Best Documentary at The Bay International Film Festival 2026.
