Wall to Wall has been supplying innovative, hugely popular, award-winning programming around the world since 1987.

Our output spans scripted and non-scripted and has been recognised with BAFTA, Emmy, Grierson and RTS awards as well as an Academy Award.  Our customers include the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky, Netflix, AppleTV+, Disney+, National Geographic, PBS, Max, Discovery+, Magnolia, HBO and many others. 

Scripted productions include the acclaimed BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominated single The Girl, starring Sienna Miller and Toby Jones for HBO and BBC, period drama The Scandalous Lady W, starring Natalie Dormer for BBC, and The Windermere Children for BBC and ZDF. For more than ten years, we also made the cop series New Tricks, which was consistently BBC One’s highest-rated weekday drama.  In 2023, Waterloo Road - one of the BBC’s most popular drama brands - returned to screens, winning a whole new audience and multi-series recommissions.

Non-scripted productions, which range from entertainment to specialist factual, arts, and factual entertainment, include: Who Do You Think You Are? (20+ years for the BBC), Long Lost Family (ITV), Union with David Olusoga (BBC) and Glow Up (BBC/Netflix, and latterly BBC/OutTV).  Other acclaimed series include AIDS: The Unheard Tapes and D-Day: The Unheard Tapes (BBC), Child Genius, The Nevermets (Channel 4) and multiple series of the living history hit Back in Time for… (BBC).  Back to the Frontier (for HBO MAX) builds on that tradition of immersive reality with the genre’s most ambitious series ever.  Entertainment hits include Little Big Shots (ITV), five seasons of The Voice UK (BBC) and David Mitchell’s Outsiders (Dave).  Productions for Netflix include Earthstorm, Alien Worlds and Dope; for National Geographic, we have made many series, including Naming the Dead, Narco Wars, Underworld Inc. and the long-running hit Car S.O.S.   Meanwhile, the natural history series Growing Up Animal aired on Disney+ and Becoming You on Apple+.  Our film Man on Wire (about French high-wire artist Philippe Petit’s illegal 1974 tightrope walk between the Twin Towers) won us our first Oscar.

The hallmark of Wall to Wall’s productions across this diverse slate is a commitment to quality, innovation, and brilliant storytelling - and many of our shows combine elements from different genres, whether in pioneering living history projects or in the many factual dramas we have made over the years.

In July 2017, the company set up Wall to Wall West, a regional base in Bristol, which has delivered a wide range of hit shows. Titles include: Britain’s Secret War Babies (Channel 4),  AIDS: The Unheard Tapes and D-Day: The Unheard Tapes (BBC Two), Who Do You Think You Are? (BBC), The Holy Land: Our Untold Stories (BBC), Back in Time for Birmingham (BBC Two), Growing Up Animal (Nat Geo/Disney+) and a number of hugely successful cooking series with Nadiya Hussain (BBC Two). 

Our scripted operation is divided between our London office and Wall to Wall North in Manchester, home to our reboot of Waterloo Road.
