The Bright Thoughts 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.
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 these pages you will also find production details on many of the shows both in the projects portfolio and our catalogue which are indicative of our unique stamp (and strap-line) "entertainment with a purpose."

You'll find plenty of memorabilia from the founding days of Bright Thoughts and we provide research, recommended books regarding the history of the industry and also of independent TV production aiming to meet the changing needs of audiences of all types.

What is not in this website are comprehensive details of the many projects from 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 often ignored by most mainstream channels, an audience segment whose needs are not currently being met, and trends look like this is going to 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.
