Over 22 hours of commissions from BBC Nations have been secured by Tern TV, the full service production company based in Belfast, Glasgow and Aberdeen that focuses pre-dominantly on the non-scripted market; specialising in talent led features & factual formats, documentary & specialist factual and international co-productions.

BBC Scotland has re-commissioned long-running series ‘The Beechgrove Garden’ for 2015, a topical weekly gardening show presented by Jim McColl, Carole Baxter, Chris Beardshaw and George Anderson. The series was commissioned by Ewan Angus. It is produced and directed by Gwyneth Hardy for Tern TV.

BBC Scotland have commissioned the one-off show ‘Christmas Celebration’. The show will see 350 members of the National Youth Choirs of Scotland take us across midnight into Christmas Day with superb singing of carols, both traditional and modern. The special was commissioned by Ewan Angus for BBC Scotland. It is directed by Bridget Caldwell and produced by David Strachan for Tern TV.

The broadcaster is also set to air observational documentary ‘The Mountain’, a six-part series that follows a winter at Britain’s leading ski resort in Cairngorms National Park. The show is directed by Steven Todd, Jenny Stock and Katrina Inkster, produced by Colin Cameron and Steven Todd and executive produced by Harry Bell for Tern TV.

David Strachan, managing director, Tern TV says: ‘We are pleased to have won a variety of commissions across several genres in our two home nations. Combined with the commissions we have from BBC Network, ITV, Channel 4, Discovery and Sky, this has given us a strong 2014 and we look forward to building in 2015, both in the UK and international markets.’

BBC Northern Ireland has picked-up four-part series ‘Irish Colleges in Europe’, which will offer a history of four European colleges set up in the 17th century to secure Irish culture. The programme was directed by Keith O’Grady and executive produced by Brendan Hughes for Tern TV. It was jointly funded by BBC Northern Ireland and Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast

BBC NI will also air ‘Wonder Women’ which takes us into the world of six women who work in non-traditional female jobs. It is directed by Laura Doherty and executive produced by Brendan Hughes for Tern TV. A show celebrating the culture of the Ulster Scots ‘The Gaitherin’ will also air on BBC NI. It is directed by John FD Northover, produced by John Daly and executive produced by Brendan Hughes for Tern TV. It was jointly funded by BBC Northern Ireland and Northern Ireland Screen’s Ulster-Scots Broadcast Fund.

Brendan Hughes, Head of Tern Belfast and executive producer concludes: ‘It’s been a busy year in Belfast with a healthy mix of 6.5 hours local NI programming, and 5.5 for various networks. Finally getting something away from nations to network has been great.’
