The North East is “rich territory” for film companies looking to make compelling TV programmes.
That’s the thinking of Andrew Eastel, creative director at Middlechild - an independent production company that has just opened a Newcastle office on the back of a BBC commission.
“The decision to open in Newcastle wasn’t just a business one - it was emotional,” says Andrew, who leads a team that’s made programmes such as Fare Dodgers, aired on Channel 5 and Saving Britain’s Wildlife.
