NI's Green Make BBC's One Show Shorts

London independent televsion firm, CTVC and Belfast-based Green Inc have scored their first joint commission: nine short films for BBC1's The One Show.
The films are the first fruit of the indies' formal joint venture, established last autumn. The companies will co-produce the films out of Northern Ireland but they will be filmed across the UK.
One of the ideas, presented as a series of mini docu-soaps, tells the story of Brian Burnie, a multi-millionaire whose ambition is to die penniless.
The strand will follow Burnie as he tries to sell his 10-acre estate in Northumberland, using the profits to set up his own charity. The money will fund a fleet of cars to ferry cancer patients to and from their chemotherapy appointments.
The second strand, My Big Decision, examines the choices made by extraordinary individuals, including a woman who turned her own sons in to the police and the first person in Britain to have a sex change.
The nine films are to be presented by Wendy Robbins, produced by Belfast-based producer Peter Murphy and executive produced by Paul Woolwich.
Stephen Stewart, Green Inc's Managing Director, said: "It's very exciting to be working with CTVC and co-producing inserts for a BBC1 series as successful as The One Show, and with our new UTV gardening series launching both commissions significantly enhance Green Inc's reputation as a trusted supplier of high quality factual-entertainment formats for local and network broadcasters."
