We are a multi-award-winning team of programme makers who work across the factual television spectrum. We put people at the heart of every story we tell– from surprising ob doc series about life in an ever-changing Britain to shows celebrating contemporary culture, and social histories revealing untold stories from around the globe.

Experts in music and social history, we bring the When....Came To Britain strand to BBC Two, revealing unseen sides to Bruce Springsteen, Blondie, Bob Marley, Nirvana, Tina Turner, Motown and ABBA; we trace the rebellious roots of a literary dynasty in The Brontes by Anita Rani: Sisters of Disruption, explore archive treasures in Guy Garvey: From The Vaults on Sky Arts and tell the tale of one of the most influential clubs in British history in BBC Two's The Hacienda: The Club That Shook Britain.

Our observational documentary slate includes the ongoing series Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids which continues to outperform More4 slot average by 5 times, BBC Two's Yorkshire Firefighters, Channel 4’s Second-Hand For 50 Grand about the boom in the pre-owned luxury goods market, and the ITV series The Metro: A Rail Life Story.

Leaders in shows celebrating popular culture, over the last 20 years the team behind Wise Owl have worked with some of Britain’s best-loved talent, including Anita Rani, David Jason, Peter Kay and most recently the Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen and family.

In 2022 Wise Owl announced a spin-off division - Hoot, responsible for youth-orientated projects like Box Fresh for Channel 4.0 and, alongside our colleagues at the award winning Lime Digital team, we continue to develop content in the digital and podcast space.
