BBC Studios is the home of British comedy and is responsible for many of the greatest comedies of all time. From nurturing new voices to partnering with the country’s leading writers and performers, BBC Studios creates era-defining comedy.
BBC Studios impact on the biggest global platforms can be seen in the multi award-winning epic Good Omens, written by Neil Gaiman for Amazon, the much loved comedy drama Trying, written by Andy Wolton for Apple and starring Rafe Spall and Esther Smith and our Netflix sketch special, A Whole Lifetime with Jamie Demetriou, from four time BAFTA winner Jamie Demetriou.
Current productions include Tom Basden’s critically acclaimed BBC One family comedy Here We Go, comedy thriller Black Ops for BBC One starring Gbemisola Ikumelo and Hammed Animashaun, and a third season of Diane Morgan’s brilliant Mandy. The multi BAFTA-winning Inside No. 9 continues BBC Studios’ longstanding work with Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton following the iconic The League of Gentlemen and Psychoville.
BBC Studios’ passion for discovering new voices can be seen in productions including Liam Williams’ Ladhood, Gbemisola Ikumelo’s BAFTA-winning Brain In Gear, and Charlie & Daisy May Cooper’s multi-BAFTA winning series This Country – just as we did with The Day Today and The Thick of It, which launched the careers of Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci, and The Office, the debut series from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
BBC Studios' commitment to representing all corners of the UK – and making them laugh – is evident in classics from Only Fools and Horses and Goodness Gracious Me to Blackadder and The Young Ones, and today in the likes of Scottish hit sitcom Two Doors Down, whose seventh series is out soon on BBC One, and the BAFTA-winning Mrs Brown's Boys, voted the most popular sitcom of the 21st Century by Radio Times and winner of five National Television Awards.
Beyond the screen, we produce a wide range of award-winning radio comedy and podcasts. From longstanding shows like Just A Minute and On the Hour to critically acclaimed contemporary series like Sarah Kendall’s Australian Trilogy and Rose & Rosie: Parental Guidance for Spotify. ...
