Guerriers and BF Produce Short Film

(01/03/2011)
Guerriers and BF Produce Short Film Big Finish is co-producing Cleaning Up, a short film by the Guerrier Brothers.

Mark Gatiss stars as hitman Mr Jackson, with Louise Jameson as Mrs Pellman and Anton Romain Thompson as James. The film also features Tom Allen, Michael Ansah, Nicholas Briggs, Anthony Keetch, Miranda Kelling, Harry Myers, Phoebe Newlan and Tracy-Ann Oberman.

"It's an exciting new venture for us at Big Finish," says CEO Jason Haigh-Ellery, "and we couldn't be more thrilled. Brothers Simon and Tom brought me a great script and they'd assembled a fantastic cast and crew, so I just couldn't say no."

Shot in London in December 2010, the film has been written by Simon Guerrier, directed by Thomas Guerrier and script edited by Joseph Lidster, with music by Matthew Cochrane.

Cleaning Up will initially be shown at film festivals and then distributed more widely. Look out for further details - and a trailer - soon.

Daniel Brett's Music

(28/02/2011)
Daniel Brett We'd like to make a public apology to one of our great BF composers, Daniel Brett, who, among other productions, has composed the music for this month's Doctor Who: Short Trips Volume II, featuring William Russell, David Troughton, Katy Manning, Louise Jameson, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sophie Aldred and India Fisher.

As you may know, our exec producer, Nick Briggs, created the music for Short Trips Volume I. However, because of pressure of work, he was not available to work on Volume II. At very short notice and expertly following a brief from Nick about the various styles of Doctor Who incidental music, Daniel Brett came to the rescue and delivered eight, brilliant scores, one for each of the eight stories on Volume II. The trouble is, this last minute change meant that Daniel's credit was left off the CD booklet, and the music was erroneously credited to Nick instead.

'We're really sorry that Daniel didn't get the credit he deserved, so we wanted to make it very clear to everyone that he's responsible for the fantastic music on Volume II,' explains Nick Briggs. 'In fact, he's done such a brilliant job that we've asked him to do the music for the next two Short Trips volumes as well. And he will certainly get his credit for those!'

(25/02/2011)
Acid Bath Murderer Trailer - 25 February 2011 Just before performing as John George Haigh, writer and actor Nigel Fairs had an accident on his bike that left him with a scar that matched the one on Haigh’s face exactly. That’s just one of the spooky coincidences behind the scenes of In Conversation With An Acid Bath Murderer, a chilling Drama Showcase production about the real-life serial killer.

The audio production, which is released in May, also stars Louise Jameson, Richard Franklin and Suzanne Procter.

The trailer is now available as a special podcast. Please be aware that it is unsuitable for young people under the age of 15.
