Heads Up To Fremantlemedia Enterprises
FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME), the content exploitation arm of FremantleMedia, has announced the renewal of its distribution deal with the prestigious production house Sally Head Productions.
The three-year agreement ensures that the successful partnership, that brought such gems as 'Tipping The Velvet', 'Fingersmith' and the phenomenally successful 'Fanny Hill', to a global audience, will continue.
Broadcast last autumn on BBC4, the Andrew Davies ('Bridget Jones' Diary') scripted 'Fanny Hill' set a ratings record for the channel by achieving an average of 1.1 million viewers. And critics were similarly charmed. 'The Radio Times' christened 'Fanny': "naughty but nice", while 'The Guardian' found it hard to resist, saying: "'Fanny Hill' was the first erotic novel and you will, how shall I put this, be glued to it."
Over ten territories including Australia, France and New Zealand have already picked up 'Fanny Hill'. Plus costume designer Lucinda Wright has been nominated for a prestigious Bafta award for her sumptuous designs (the ceremony takes place on May 11 in central London).
Sally Head commented: "We're thrilled and privileged to continue our long and fruitful relationship with FremantleMedia Enterprises and are extremely excited about our seven forthcoming projects."
Equally delighted is FME's CEO David Ellender, who said: "Sally Head has been responsible for some of the most ground-breaking and dynamic drama to appear on television over the past few years.
"Programmes such as 'Fanny Hill' re-defined the genre and with a host of exciting productions in the pipeline, FME is more than pleased that our collaboration remains intact."
FremantleMedia Enterprises is the content exploitation arm of FremantleMedia, offering a one-stop-shop for all licensing, distribution and home entertainment.
It is a vision of FremantleMedia, which is a large creator, producer, distributor and licensor of programme brands in over 40 territories worldwide.
