ROUND THE CLOCK (2014)
After developing a pilot, BBC Learning commissioned this 1 x 60’ programme for TV broadcast and online about telling the time for a KS1 audience. We found and developed brand new presenter Sabrina Grant who has since gone on to present a whole host of factual entertainment shows for Channel Four including Super Shoppers and Saved and Remade for BBC.
SECOND SCREEN (2013)
This was a funded development project funded by BBC Innovations. We worked with presenter and vocal coach Carrie Grant to create an innovative singalong-on-a-second screen experience. The technology was unfortunately still playing catch-up at the time, but we did get a fulsome round of applause when we pitched it to the Innovations team at the BBC at MediaCity, Salford, which was rewarding.

THE POWER OF TEXT (2009)
This was a 1 x 90’ TV minute commission for BBC Learning dramatising a variety of key texts for KS4 students.
We worked with actors like James Sutton (Hollyoaks, Emmerdale), Vincent Marzello (The Witches), James Young (Chewin' the Fat, Still Game) to bring to life text like Abraham Lincoln's The Gettysburg Address, Rupert Brooke's The Soldier, and Tennyson's Ulysses, recreating periods as diverse as Tudor times, the First World War and the American Civil War to serve as backdrops to these powerful readings.
