Andrews began his career as a broadcast journalist, later moving to producing and directing.

In this ScreenTalk interview he talks about:

• the story of his time presenting pioneering current affairs show Gallery
• producing the ground-breaking documentary series Landmarks in the early 1980s
• his involvement in the start-up of TV3, and how the network’s direction changed over time, moving it away from the public service style programming that he had hoped for
• launching his own production company George Andrews Productions, and some of the programmes he has enjoyed making over the years
• how his 2006 documentary Made in Taiwan – starring Oscar Kightley and Nathan Rarere – came about
• and finally he tells the story of how Made in Taiwan led to his 2008 documentary Allan Wilson – Evolutionary, about the pioneering and controversial New Zealand-born biologist. The programme was funded by the University of California, Berkeley, where Wilson spent much of his career.
