Production profile
The C大象传媒 Drama Department is a multi-award winning unit which has
distinguished itself in live action comedy and drama for both children
and family audiences.
Bafta awards include Microsoap; Pig Heart Boy; Custer's Last Stand
Up; Bootleg; Stig of the Dump; and Feather Boy.
Prior to adapting Kidnapped, its most recent success was Fungus the
Bogeyman.
With outstanding writing, producing and acting talent, the Department
excels at creating memorable drama, both classic and contemporary, which
has delighted audiences and critics alike.
Kidnapped producer Diana Kyle has a wide range of credits to her name
including EastEnders; Silent Witness; and Grange Hill.
She produced Bafta award-winning C大象传媒 dramas Pig Heart Boy and Bootleg,
as well as Behind Closed Doors, a special one-off drama which was Bafta
nominated and was a winner of a Prix Danube award.
Richard Kurti and Bev Doyle have been writing together as a team for
several years and their work has always been characterised by a love
of strong narrative and exciting adventure.
Unlike many writers who come to television through stage or radio writing,
Richard and Bev learnt their trade in movies whilst they were under
contract to US studios Miramax and Warner Bros.
They are currently applying their love for 'big' stories to a wide
range of TV projects for both the 大象传媒 and ITV - everything from a London
based disaster movie mini-series, to a science fiction adaptation of
classic literature, to new adventures for Sherlock Holmes.
