Jonathan Gili

Jonathan Gili (19 April 1943 – 1 October 2004) was a British filmmaker, editor and director, who produced numerous and wide-ranging television documentary and features programmes, mostly for the BBC.

There followed a number of highly successful one-off documentaries, including "She Married a Yank" (GI Brides), "To The World's End" (in which the narration consisted entirely of Carl Davis's music), and "The Second Oldest Profession", about salesmen.

The most memorable of all was "Mixed Blessings", a study of two babies accidentally swapped shortly after birth, and the aftermath for the families.

There followed many documentaries for the "Timewatch" series - histories of the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, The Alaskan Gold Rush, The Oklahoma Outlaw.

One noted work is a book of Lithographs by Glynn Boyd Harte, based on "Metro-land", the television film by Sir John Betjeman and Edward Mirzoeff.
