association with the BBC.
Finally, Zinc's Manchester based indie, Blakeway North, has also
secured a commission for BBC3 and BBC Learning.
Mark Browning, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"These commissions represent a strong start to the new financial
year for our TV businesses. I am particularly pleased with the
