About

Big Talk was founded in 1995 by the multi-award winning producer Nira Park. It has established itself as one of the UK's leading film and television producers, with an impeccable track record in developing breakthrough talent, such as Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright. Their cult television series SPACED paved the way for the hit films SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ. In 2007 Matthew Justice (HALLAM FOE, BLADE) joined Big Talk as MD to build on the phenomenal success of the company. In 2008, BBC Creative Head of Comedy, Kenton Allen (THAT MITCHELL AND WEBB LOOK, THE ROYLE FAMILY and the Oscar-winning SIX SHOOTER) joined as Chief Executive together with the completion of a strategic investment from BBC Worldwide, to principally focus on growing its television activities. Big Talk now has an extremely dynamic slate of original TV comedy and drama with all the major UK Broadcasters and continues to attract exceptional talent. The company now boasts Simon Curtis (CRANFORD, FIVE DAYS), Robert Popper (PEEP SHOW, LOOK AROUND YOU) and Luke Alkin (Former Head of C4 Drama) as part of the core creative team.

The latest Big Talk production is the comedy drama FREE AGENTS which debuted on C4 in February 2009 to stellar reviews.
