World Productions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
World Productions is a British television production company, founded in the early 1990s by acclaimed producer Tony Garnett. The company's first major series was the police drama Between The Lines (BBC1, 1992-94), and throughout the decade they went on to produce a succession of highly successful drama series. The most notable of these include This Life (BBC2, 1996-97), a hugely popular drama about a group of young law students in London which became cult viewing; vampire-based thriller Ultraviolet (Channel 4, 1998); and another police series for the BBC, The Cops (BBC2, 1998-99), which was so controversial in its depiction of the police force that official police advice was withdrawn for the second series.
More recently, the company has found success with the series No Angels for Channel 4 (2004-2006), a drama based around the lives of young nurses, and is hoping for similar success with the new series Goldplated. It is also co-producing, with BBC Wales, a one-off This Life reunion special, due for transmission in late 2006.
