George Fulton

George Fulton (born 10 November 1977 in Birkenhead, Merseyside, United Kingdom) is a British-Pakistani television journalist and producer. He lived in Pakistan for nine years before acquiring Pakistani citizenship, while retaining his British citizenship. On 1 March 2011 Fulton announced that he was leaving Pakistan on account of security fears and because he increasingly saw Pakistan as a failed state, a view that is widespread among expats who have lived in Pakistan.[1][2]

Fulton was working for the BBC when he travelled to Karachi, Pakistan, to launch a BBC produced political talk show on Pakistani politics called Question Time Pakistan. Following which he produced BBC's Hard Talk Pakistan. He was then offered to do a reality show, George Ka Pakistan, by Pakistan's Geo TV based on his experiences in Pakistan. During the show which was a success, he married a Pakistani, Kiran.

Fulton soon left Geo TV for another Pakistani TV channel, ARY TV, where he launched Pakistan's version of Have I Got News For You, called News, Views & Confused. He produced and scripted the show's first season, before moving on to produce Aaj TV's morning show, Kiran Aur George with his wife Kiran. Both also hosted the show.

Since 2011, George and Kiran Fulton have lived in Neston in Merseyside, where George's roots are. Kiran Fulton became a British subject in 2015. The family has no intention of ever returning to live in Pakistan.
