Chaillet moved to London in 1973 to work at The Times Literary Supplement for the editors Arthur Crook and John Gross 1974–76. He was deputy drama critic (to Irving Wardle) for The Times 1975–83. In 1983 he joined the BBC as Editor, Radio 3 Plays, before becoming a producer for BBC Radio Drama. At the same time (1983–86) he wrote drama criticism for The Wall Street Journal – Europe.[3]
His radio programmes have received five Sony Radio Academy Awards, and the Prix Italia for Fiction in 1997.[4] In 2005 he was nominated by the Directors Guild of Great Britain for Outstanding Achievement in Radio.[5] Between 2008 and 2012, Ned taught Radio and Microphone Technique at the Central School of Speech and Drama (London).[6] In 2013, working with Chris Wallis at Autolycus Productions, he completed the recording of David Suchet's single-voice reading of the entire Bible (New International Version, 2011) for CTVC.[7]
