“On the ‘Mission Uganda’ series Frank Martin was a fantastic collaborator throughout, always willing to go the extra mile to make the programme as good as it could possibly be. He showed very good judgment in terms of structuring the programmes and of the fundamental ‘’storytelling’’ needed to put together compelling films. He is an experienced Editor, unfazed by large amounts of material. I think he has an excellent editing eye, cutting some beautiful sequences with a great sense of timing. His input has been invaluable.”
Johnny Muir, Producer BBC N. Ireland.

“Frank Martin has been editing ‘Folks On The Hill’ since it first aired in 2004. Transferring the format from radio to animation has been a steep learning curve for us all, but Frank in particular has been breaking new ground with his work on Avid, dedicating long hours of very intricate work to each programme. He has a great feel for what we're trying to achieve with the series and he has approached this major challenge with great enthusiasm and skill.
Owen McFadden, Producer BBC N.I.

’Frank Martin is a craftsman of the highest order and the end results are often stunning. He edited all seven programmes in ‘The Big Event’ series and the work he did whilst I was involved elsewhere was excellent, judging mood, tone and pace of programme perfectly”
Jacqui Berkeley, Producer BBC N.I.

'First Stop’ had one of the most intensive editing schedules of our current output but Frank Martin really helped to lift everyone’s spirits and was great fun to work with. . What was equally refreshing was that he took an interest in how we were treating the stories…with his knowledge of music, theatre, and the arts he was every bit as ambitious as the production team in getting the style of the features right.
Karen Gallagher, Producer BBC N.I.

“I worked with Frank Martin editing ‘Insight’, a weekly Current Affairs programme for three years. He was an integral member of the team and his work and commitment to the programme was first class. Apart from his considerable editing skills, he was invaluable for his knowledge of Northern Ireland history and film archive. ‘Insight’ worked on a very tight schedule and while he would have been under considerable pressure he never failed to meet the transmission deadlines.
Mary Curry, Producer Ulster Television.

“The most impressive programme of the week was ‘A Million Bricks’ the story of Springfield Park, West Belfast’s last religiously mixed housing estate. Over the course of 90 minutes, a community came together before our eyes and then suddenly splintered forever. Produced by former residents Frank Martin and Seamus Kelters on a tiny fraction of the budget of most network documentaries, ‘A Million Bricks’ had a richness of character and incident one wouldn’t dare expect from a multimillion pound BBC drama serial. A triumph in both style and content”.
