In a little over a decade, the British productioncompanyKudos has amassed an impressive catalogue of television and film, creating original, popular, award-winning work with flair and intelligence and a keen sense of emerging talent.
From the outset Kudos made a name for itself with a wide-ranging slate that highlighted clever reality-based programming and sharp fictional entertainment, from the edgy BAFTA-nominated medical drama Psychos to the International Emmy Award-winning The Magician's House to the Grammy-nominated feature length Radiohead documentary Meeting People is Easy.
In short, Kudos is a productioncompany for the 21st century: forward thinking, smart, and dynamic.
Actors and agents who turn down long-term television work in case they are offered a Hollywood film role are jeopardising the creativity of the British TV industry, managing director of Kudosproductioncompany Stephen Garrett has warned.
He claimed that performers and their agents are reluctant to commit to returning drama series on terrestrial channels because they are “waiting for a call from Hollywood that will never come”.
He added: “Lots of actors do not like to sign them because various television companies, in offering such contracts, instil in them pay increases that don’t reflect the success of the character they play.
