TV Drama

At Helen James Productions we’re experts at promoting Television Drama.  We’ve worked with the Heads of ITV Drama to promote their programmes nationally and we’ve a track record of producing behind the scenes interviews and features for broadcast news programmes throughout the UK.

We film sensitively behind the scenes without disrupting the production crew and our careful planning and research helps build a special rapport with the cast, helping them relax and feel comfortable.  Julia McKenzie (Jane Marple) gave her first interview in her new role to Helen James on location and talked about the quirks of playing Agatha’s Christie’s iconic female detective.

Involving Helen James Productions in your promotional planning for a Television Drama has many benefits, not least by building expectation and interest among fans; we’re experts in viral marketing through social networking sites and podcasting too.  What’s more we can create a powerful web video production website that can be themed and changed each week to keep the fans engaged and interested in their favourite programmes, or as special interviews and features like those we’ve provided for itv.com

Helen James Productions gives you an opportunity to extend the reach of your TV Drama to a wider audience, to illustrate to writers and reviewers the inside story, quotes from lead actors and directors, and to generate local news interest among regional audiences.

Mark Southgate: Regional Director: ITV Meridian/London

"Helen’s news background gives her the ability to work quickly, unobtrusively, and efficiently. She does her research thoroughly, plans carefully, and can then shoot fast and effectively, getting the most value possible out of a limited amount of time on location. Onto those core skills is grafted a confident and warm personality which means people like her, trust her, and enjoy working with her. It is a winning combination."

Brian True-May: Executive Producer “Midsomer Murders” (Bentley Productions)

“Helen has filmed two Midsomer Murders documentaries for ITV regional news and I was very pleased with both. Her approach to each project was thorough and very well researched and during her filming on set she caused no disruption to principal photography.
Helen was quick to put everyone at their ease and immediately established a good rapport with John Nettles, the other cast members and crew.
Overall Helen has a professional and friendly approach to her work and the documentaries she created perfectly captured the essence of Midsomer.”
