The first project for our regional base was to provide camera and lighting crews for a one-off special of the BBC's To The Manor Born.  The special was shot on location in Somerset, 25 years since the original series ended, by John Sorapure.  John was assisted by Geraint Owen and Matt Wicks.  The production starred Penelope Keith and Peter Bowles.  It was produced and directed by Gareth Gwenlan.

DOP John Record and his assistant, Ian Pearce, are in and around Cardiff shooting the comedy, High Hopes for BBC Wales.  Gareth Gwenlan is again producer/director.   This comedy follows the ups and downs of four people from the wrong side of the tracks as they form themselves into an unlikely but close-knit family.

Blue Planet has also just completed the photography of the 4th series of Ideal for BBC Comedy North in Manchester.  We once again had the pleasure to work with director Ben Fuller (Dead Ringers), on this Johnny Vegas comedy.  John Sorapure lensed the series with Geraint Owen pulling focus.

A third series of Green Green Grass, was another ratings success for BBC1. The location element of the series was shot in Shropshire by DOP, John Sorapure. The Only Fools and Horses spin-off series follows Boycie and Marlene's new life in the country and was directed by Dewi Humphreys.

DOP Jamie Cairney and his camera team of Gary Rogers and Neil Jones, worked with director Ben Kellett, on location, in Manchester on the second series of BBC3 show, Grown Ups.  The sitcom follows the lives of a group of twenty-somethings.
