Cherry picker
Article Abstract:
The Kirch Group is one of the largest production houses in Europe. Head of Co-production is Sabine Tettenborn, who is involved with many global partners such as Nine Network in Australia and Hallmark Entertainment of the US. Established in Germany, the Kirch Group insists that any co-productions are distributed on the Continent through themselves, dealing with dubbing and marketing at country level. The latest co-production is the Count of Monte Christo which will cost 10.5 million pounds sterling to produce. Co-productions bring out national creative qualities in production teams, says Tettenborn.

Corp business
Article Abstract:
The number of UK production facilities firms has increased in the late 1990s, as developments in technology lead to greater competition and competitive pricing. The TV Corporation appointed former HTV executive Chris Rowlands as Chief Executive in Jan 1998, with the hope that he could use his business background to promote the firm. Financial backing has been obtained through putting TV Corporation on the UK stock market. TV Corporation's share price rose when Rowland's appointment was announced.

Difficult Brits play co-pro game
Article Abstract:
British television program producers have the reputation of being good at what they do but are sometimes difficult to work with, according to many international co-producers. They often feel that the attitude of UK producers is condescending and snobbish, and language difficulties do not help matters. If British film-making is to survive, attitudes must change. When co-production works well, classic programmes such as Jane Eyre can result, although compromises need to be made on both sides.
