Ten Alps acquires Films of Record

Ten Alps announced today that it has acquired Films of Record, the award-winning production company set up and run by filmmaker Roger Graef. Founded in 1979 by Roger Graef, OBE, it is the producer of some of the best-known observational documentaries in British television history.

Films of Record has recently expanded its expertise to include multi-platform programming, led by last year's series for ITV.com, Web Lives. It is understood that this was a key factor in Ten Alps interest in the company.

Roger Graef is quoted as saying: "We are delighted to be joining Ten Alps at this crucial time in the evolution of public service television. We have been expanding over the years bringing our experience of discreet access filming to areas such as current affairs, science, business, the arts and recent history – most recently Was Crippen Innocent? for Five, PBS and the History Channel.

"Joining Ten Alps will give us the breadth of support to sustain and build on our online TV expansion. I am also confident that my new colleagues share the same values that Films of Record has stood for over the last thirty years. That was a crucial part of our decision to join them."

Films of Record’s team, including Jane Bevan and Nick Poyntz, immediately join Ten Alps’ two existing TV brands, Brook Lapping and Blakeway, in their Kentish Town production offices - creating one of the world’s leading independent documentary operations.  All three brands maintain their identity and integrity but share facilities.

Renowned projects include: Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go, Welcome to Potters Bar, Murder Blues, Breaking the Cycle, My Heart Belongs to Dad, The Protectors and Who Killed PC Blakelock?
