New Collaborative Partners
With viewers requesting Bright Thoughts shows to view-on-demand and also to purchase on DVD for example, the 'take-away' here is the potential for new partnerships with other companies.
The Bright Thoughts ethos of 'creative collaboration' remains the same even though Neil Anthony is now in semi-retirement and no longer produces shows. The focus is currently in the placement of original content in order to serve the viewing needs of the 'boomer' generation.
There is more about view-on-demand on our commercial website Bright Thoughts Entertainment, alternatively you may prefer just to get in touch.

Read the story of how the unlikely partnership was formed in the days of Southern TV, then flourished in the early days of independent production when Channel 4 was announced and then shortly after came on air. Find out how the near-to-impossible deadlines and budgets made it almost unsustainable for the smaller production companies without further investment and diversification.
In the post Channel 4 era the collaboration continued and the friendship remained in-tact with fresh ideas and new concepts for other TV network companies. |
