Bright Thoughts, an independent production company

Bright Thoughts has produced over 70 shows and also developed a greater number of concepts and formats for co-production with potential partners in the UK and internationally.
In these pages you will find production details on a selection of shows in the projects portfolio which are illustrative of our unique stamp (and strap-line) "entertainment with a purpose."  There are also listings in our catalogue which are also indicative of our style.
The company was originally formed as an entrepreneurial, creative partnership between Neil Anthony and Bryan Izzard as an independent production company to supply entertainment and music programming.
In this site you will also find memorabilia from the founding days of Bright Thoughts.  There is research and recommended books regarding the history of  independent TV production as it continues to meet the changing needs of viewing audiences of all types and within the different genre.

What is not in this website are comprehensive details of the many projects in the portfolio which were (and are) unplaced, other ideas, formats and concepts due to most remaining the Intellectual Property (IP) of Bright Thoughts.
​We believe there is an appetite of an older demographic (50+) which is ignored too frequently by most mainstream channels, and trends look as if this will increase not decrease in the next few years.  The Bright Thoughts product can help meet and fulfil these needs, whether on terrestrial channels, streaming services, online, and emerging technologies.
COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES:  We are open for business and comply with all prevailing government rules, measures and restrictions as they change.  By arrangement, we are happy for business meetings via Zoom, Skype and other online meeting platforms.  For enquiries, please continue to use the contact form.
