I have also consulted on a range of BBC television programmes including The Victorian Pharmacy, Inside Michael Mosley and Women and Power.

In 2023, I consulted with Disney+ and Michael Lennox (director of Derry Girls) relating to a dramatisation of the Price Sisters. Between 2014 and 2016, I worked closely with Belfast-based film production company, FinePoint Films, who are finalising a documentary entitled Bobby Sands 1981. I have acted as historical consultant on major film productions including the 2015 biopic Suffragette.  I also offered information on Victorian anti-vivisectionist to Angelika Film Productions for a film about 19th-century medical experimentation.
