Gary Dollner
Gary Dollner, if you know anything about British TV, you’ve probably seen his work even if you didn’t realize it. The man’s got a knack for nailing that darkly comic, razor-sharp vibe, especially with stuff like Fleabag—yeah, that show everyone was obsessed with for a solid couple of years. He’s one of those editors who can turn a sly glance or an awkward silence into comedy gold. It’s not just Fleabag, though. Killing Eve? Also his handiwork. You can feel his style in the pacing—tense, sometimes a bit cheeky, always keeping you on your toes. Honestly, it’s like he’s got a sixth sense for knowing exactly when to cut for maximum impact, whether it’s making you laugh or squirm.
Then there’s See How They Run, which is all about those classic whodunit vibes, but with a fresh, playful twist. Dollner balances the nostalgia with a modern zing, never letting things get too heavy or too silly. He’s one of those behind-the-scenes people who, if you’re paying attention, you realize is half the reason the shows and movies feel so tight and alive. His editing gives stories their heartbeat—the rhythm, the little beats that make characters pop and punchlines land. So, if you find yourself drawn into these clever, offbeat worlds, chances are Gary Dollner’s fingerprints are all over them. The guy just gets storytelling, full stop.
