How out of London works. In January, Spun Gold, an indie that makes Garden Rescue for BBC Daytime, announces it is moving office, from London to Digbeth. Also in January, Nick Bullen announces the creation of Fifty3 Degrees as a holding company for his 'portfolio of content creation companies', including Spun Gold. Nick, ex Granada and This Morning, now lives in Needham Market and appears on Fox News as a Royal Commentator, "Editor in Chief, True Royalty TV".
Today, the BBC Media Centre tells us "BBC One commissions Policing Paradise (w/t) made by Birmingham-based production company".
Spun Gold have been working with the Bermuda Police for some time in the making of this 'documentary' series. BBC daytime commissioner Alex McLeod says “Policing Paradise is like the real-life Death in Paradise. Audiences will be able to get lost in the Islands of Bermuda as they are taken on a journey with the wonderful police force working to keep Bermuda safe for residents and tourists. It’s a deep dive into the culture of these truly unique islands and one we hope audiences will feel privileged to be a part of.”
Yes, warts and all ? Er. A Bermuda Police Service spokesman said in July: “This TV programme is designed to show Bermuda, the BPS, and the RBR Coastguard in a good light, while encouraging UK citizens to consider visiting the island. All footage will be thoroughly reviewed by the BPS Senior Leadership Team before being released for inclusion in the series. Likewise, all proposed episodes will be vetted by the BPS before release for broadcast.”
