Article Abstract:

Pozzitive Television is a British comedy production company which is small and intends to stay that way. Its two founders, Geoff Posner and David Tyler, set up the company in 1992. Since then it has produced comedy output such as the opera 'The Marriage of Figaro' for BBC2's 1994 Christmas schedules, 'The Big Snog' shown on World Aids Day and 'Coogan's Run'. There will be two Pozzitive productions in the 1996 Christmas schedules and the company continues to do radio work. Posner and Tyler will keep the company very small because they enjoy the hands-on production.
