Mentorn Media's output has a breadth and quality that ranks it
as one of the UK's foremost producers. Established in 1985,
Mentorn Media is one of the UK's longest established independent
television production companies, making thousands of hours for
broadcasters in the UK and worldwide. Our offices in London,
Oxford, Cardiff and Glasgow produce programmes across a range of
genres.
Question Time, The Big Questions, Traffic Cops, Motorway Cops,
Underage and Pregnant and Cowboy Trap are recognized brands in the
BBC's output, placing Mentorn Media as the sixth biggest supplier
in terms of hours to the BBC in 2009.
Over the last couple years Mentorn Media has produced two series
of The School Musical and, in 2010, An Idiot Abroad with Ricky
Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington for Sky
1HD.
The company has produced two series with John Sergeant, one for
ITV and one for BBC4. Programming for Channel 4 includes live
political debates, single hours for strands such as Cutting Edge,
Dispatches and What Really Happened, and a four-part series
centered on Katie Piper, the remarkable young woman who survived a
disfiguring acid attack, for delivery in early 2011.
Mentorn Media was extremely proud to have produced For Neda for
HBO, broadcast on the first anniversary of the death of Neda
Agha-Soltan, murdered during the disputed elections in Iran in
2009.
We will soon deliver our two latest series, for a total of six
commissions within the last two years, to BBC Wales: Hidden
Houses of Wales with Laurence Llewelyn Bowen and Rolf on Welsh Art
with Rolf Harris. And for BBC Scotland we have now made three
series of Clans.
Mentorn Media's drama arm, Daybreak Pictures, continues to
produce worldwide award winning drama, including such critically
acclaimed works as Endgame and Peter Kosminsky's dramas Britz and
The Government Inspector. Kosminksy's latest series, The
Promise, set in Palestine and Israel in both 1949 and the present
day is scheduled for Channel 4 transmission in early in
2011
