Full Fat TV

Colette Foster, the former Remarkable Television co-managing director, hopes to spark a renaissance in TV production in Birmingham with the launch of hew new indie, Full Fat Television.

It’s a new factual entertainment TV company based in Birmingham. The company will focus on factual entertainment and feature formats with an emphasis on emerging talent, particularly from the Midlands.Foster, who worked in Birmingham before her eight years at Endemol, said there was a “sense of decline” in the industry when ITV shut its Birmingham HQ and the BBC moved its production to Bristol

“The audience, particularly the young audience, is hungry for fresh stuff and gets bored really quickly,” she said. “I think most shows I make are capturing the zeitgeist – we see things happening out there and respond by going to a channel quickly.
