Red Production Company

British independent television production company Red Production Company was formed in 1998 by Nicola Schindler, an experienced television producer who had worked on such prestige dramas as Our Friends in the North. Based in Manchester in the north of England, Red's first production was the controversial drama Queer as Folk, written by Russell T. Davies and based around the lives of three gay men in Manchester. This was screened on Channel 4 in early 1999 and drew much comment and praise.

The same year, Red followed this up with another series for Channel 4, an anthology of six half-hour plays about love entitled Love in the 21st Century. Queer as Folk 2 arrived in 2000, and since then Red has expanded to produce acclaimed dramas for nearly all of the main British television channels - BBC ONE (Clocking Off 2000-03, Linda Green 2001-02), BBC TWO (Flesh and Blood 2002), BBC THREE (Burn It 2002-03), ITV-1 (Bob & Rose 2001, The Second Coming 2003, Mine All Mine 2004) and Sky One (Now You See Her 2001).
