His next project, a 2004 episode of Coming Up, earned him a nomination from the Director's Guild of Great Britain for outstanding achievement in short film. In 2007 he began to direct more mainstream television programmes, first by helming an episode of Hollyoaks. He then began an association with the production company Kudos, the same production company that produced the Life on Mars franchise, and employed Piers Wenger and Beth Willis.
