Tiger Aspect Productions

Tiger Aspect Productions is a British film and television production company developing and producing scripted comedy, drama, feature films and entertainment programming. Based in London, it operates as an autonomous production label within Banijay UK, working with UK broadcasters and international streaming services. Its activities span original content development, script packaging, physical production and international co-productions.

The company took its present form on 1 July 1993, when Tiger Television merged with Aspect Film and Television. Its roots extend to the earlier Tiger Television business established by producer and agent Peter Bennett-Jones. Over the following decades, Tiger Aspect built a catalogue across television and cinema, with comedy becoming a particularly prominent part of its identity.

Television and film

Its comedy productions include Mr. Bean, The Vicar of Dibley, The Catherine Tate Show, Benidorm, Bad Education and Man Like Mobeen. These range from character-led sketch and physical comedy to sitcoms and contemporary scripted series.

Tiger Aspect's drama work includes Peaky Blinders, co-produced with Caryn Mandabach Productions, alongside Ripper Street, Litvinenko, The Good Karma Hospital and Three Little Birds. Its production history also encompasses collaborations on dramas such as Fortitude and Domina.

Feature-film work includes Billy Elliot, Bean, Mr. Bean's Holiday, Kevin & Perry Go Large and The Bad Education Movie. This film output sits alongside its television slate, including adaptations and extensions of established comedy properties.

Development and direction

The company develops programming for domestic and international audiences, with broadcaster and distribution relationships encompassing the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky and global streaming platforms. Its operating model combines a permanent production business with cast, crew and freelance production workers engaged during active projects.

Tiger Aspect was acquired by IMG Media in 2006 and Endemol UK in 2009, subsequently becoming part of Banijay through the acquisition of Endemol Shine in 2020. In early 2025, Banijay UK reaffirmed the label's strategic focus on scripted comedy, building on a substantial history in both comedy and drama.
