NEWS JUST IN:

Joanna Yeates- Murder at Christmas. A quick turnaround documentary for AETN is going out on November 17th 2011,for the first time. The programme features Jo's parents David and Teresa Yeates, and Christopher Jefferies her landlord.

We have been commissioned to produce a one-off documentary about the tragic events surrounding Jo Yeates in 2010. We are currently producing a fifteen-part series for the US cable giant A&E and the UK's CI channel on Sky.

Welcome to FirstlookTV, the new Production company with built-in experience. We have

supplied the major UK broadcasters since 1991 but our team is drawn from the best emerging talent in the UK. Our award-winning documentaries, studio entertainment and comedy entertainment shows make us an out-of-London Indie with a difference - we supply across a range of genre and we attract the top talent best suited to commissioned content.

Our documentaries have impact. Invariably featuring people who inspire, they are our editorial flagship. For an idea of the tone of some of our factual programmes, watch a clip from our Dunblane documentary via our Youtube channel [http://www.youtube.com/user/thestudiostratford#p/u/1/IBxLg5O-LcE ]or have a look at our latest award-winning programme - The Suffolk Strangler - which detailed the work of those who caught and convicted a man responsible for heinous crimes in Suffolk, England.

Our documentaries have one thing in common - the key contributors were part of the production process. It's the 21st century - making programmes about people should involve the people themselves; that's our view. Our next broadcast programme has been made by our documentary arm, firstlooktv, and will be Evil Up Close : Vanessa George. This remarkable access-led programme charts the events surrounding the arrest of one of Britain's most reviled female criminals through the eyes of her teenage daughters and husband and will TX on Sky's Crime Investigation Network. Beating Channel 4 by eight months to air, and gaining access other Producers could not, makes this programme an exmample of what we do best - we get to the heart of the stories, fast and we include the key players.

Throughout 2011 Sky's Crime Investigation Network will run our six-part series about Europe's biggest growth crime - Stalking. Again, first-person narrative will drive these compelling stories. This is just one of the programmes for which we have been nominated for an award this year - the RTS 'Best Documentary'. The series has now been seen throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand and has provided bumper ratings for channels in Scandanavia and Italy.

But we take a broad approach to the genre we choose and broke new ground with a national BBC Comedy first for BBC THREE and then BBC TWO which marked the first 'narrative comedy' ever to be commissioned from the English Midlands. Trexx and Flipside is a 'Rap' comedy about two hugely loveable characters who dream of Hip-Hop stardom - only to be thwarted by their own management team of Mr. Brilliance and his PA,Ollie, and the GangstaRapper they went to school with - B-ICE. Street Cred SuDoku is a comedy panel show which lampoons everything and anything that has ever been in fashion (for the Dave Channel) and Most Haunted Live both helped define SkyLiving as a player in the Entertainment sector and confirmed us as an Event producer of TV from our English Midlands base.
