Move On Up - Televison from the Highlands of Scotland

In Development


These are some of the projects that we are working on currently . . .
Moths

A sitcom written by writer/actor/stand-up comedian Johnny Meres. It is about the odd bunch who work on the night shift at a small 24 hour supermarket, somewhere in Britain, and the even odder customers lured there - like moths to a flame. Sad, strange, poignant and funny. But mainly funny. Which is handy.

Sing for your Supper


Celebrating the history and craft of musicals, in partnership with Britain's most successful musical theatre writers, George Styles and Anthony Drewe, Sing for your Supper is a witty, effervescent, delight of a show. A food and travel show with a very musical flavour, each week two different major stars and practitioners of musical theatre will join George and Anthony in a French farmhouse, shopping for and preparing a delicious meal, all the while exploring their craft, talking about their careers, their highs and lows and their loves and desires.

And then, in the gloaming,  they will sit around the Piano ,  finally Singing for their Supper.

Andy White  Street Scenes From My Heart

Belfast born singer songwriter Andy White documents the world, its current chaos and beauty with remarkable insight. This rockumentary will be underpinned by a recording of a concert at Belfast's Black Box later this Spring (2010). The film will be about Andy White's life; and all of our lives.

The Weatherman

The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall forever,
But if you break the bloody glass, you won’t hold up the weather.
Louis Macniece (Belfast poet)

You can never escape it - we are obsessed with it, and in so many ways it has shaped us as a people. The weather. It impacts on everything we do, sometimes subtly and at times brutal and deadly. In this series we will look at our weather and climate past present and future. We will try to show just how much it has mattered, does matter and with climate change how much it matters for the future. Presented by the Weatherman, Alex Hill, a meteorological advisor to the Scottish Government.
