[edit] Early career
Initially Fenton worked as an actor, getting an early break with a part in Alan Bennetts play Forty Years On. He had some minor success appearing in the film Private Road, the soap opera Emmerdale Farm and in Alan Bennetts first television play A Day Out directed by Stephen Frears and broadcast in 1972.
Often asked to play a musical instrument in productions, Fenton decided on an early career switch to composition. In 1974 he got his first major commission, composing and musical directing for Peter Gill's theatre production of Twelfth Night by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon. This led to further work in British theatre, composing for productions at: The National Theatre, The Royal Exchange Theatre, The Royal Court, The Riverside Studios, and further compositions for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
[edit] Television
In 1976 Fenton wrote his first television score, continuing his collaboration with Peter Gill, composing for Gill's production of Hitting Town written by Stephen Poliakoff.
By the late 1970s Fenton was working regularly in television, becoming a popular choice for dozens of television productions.
He wrote the compositions for all six of the Six Plays by Alan Bennett which were broadcast during 1978 and 1979. Their collaboration continued with the TV series Objects of Affection in 1982. A year later he composed the score of Bennett's TV film An Englishman Abroad (1983) which was directed by John Schlesinger. Fenton also composed all of the episodes of Bennett's highly acclaimed Talking Heads series in 1987 and, a decade later, Talking Heads 2 in 1998.
Fenton also collaborated regularly with the director Stephen Frears. Composing for his television productions of Bloody Kids (1979), Going Gently (1981), Saigon: Year of the Cat (1983), and Walter and June (1983).
By the mid 1980s Fenton was composing for big budget TV series including the multi BAFTA winning The Jewel in the Crown (1984) and the The Monocled Mutineer (1986).
Perhaps the TV series which, for Fenton, reached the widest audience was Bergerac which ran for ten years between 1981 and 1991, and for which Fenton composed the much loved theme tune. He received his first major award for this, a BAFTA in 1982.
[edit] Television, wildlife
Fenton has composed for a number of notable wildlife television programmes, often for wildlife broadcaster David Attenborough. He started on the BBC's long running series Wildlife on One and Natural World, and continued with one-off specials such as Polar Bear.
Since 1990 he has written the music for a number of acclaimed and big budget wildlife series, these are:
The Trials of Life (1990)
Life in the Freezer (1993)
The Blue Planet (2001)
Deep Blue (2003) (feature length version of The Blue Planet)
Planet Earth (2006)
His track record in this genre has placed him firmly as the BBC's composer of choice for its flagship wildlife documentaries.
[edit] Television, jingles
Fenton has composed the jingles or theme music to dozens of British television and radio programs mostly for the BBC. Some of these are; the BBC's One O'Clock News, Six O'Clock News, and Nine O'Clock News, Newsnight and Newsnight Review, The Money Programme, On The Record, Omnibus, Breakfast Time, BBC World Service Television News, Westminster - In The House, Reporting Scotland, London Plus, The Midday News and Telly Addicts.
