Indies at helm of new regional TV series

Independent producers from across England have contributed to a new series of regionally–based documentaries to be screened on BBC One this month – ‘Seven Man-Made Wonders’.
The series builds on the success of the English Regions' series Seven Natural Wonders which screened regionally on BBC One.
All of the programmes have since been repeated on BBC Two network.
From the North West to the South East, each BBC region across England is simultaneously broadcasting a regional programme that explores seven man-made wonders in their local areas.
The sites - all built before 1901 - were nominated by BBC viewers and listeners and are considered to be wonders of the modern world.
The programmes can be seen on the evening of Sunday February 12 at 6.15pm, with some of the programmes broadcasting as a network series later in the spring.
Each of the 11 regional films has been made by an independent company, including Little Gem for the West region and Seventh House Films for the East region.
From castles, factories and cathedrals to lighthouses, stone circles, and canals - even countryside shaped by human hand – these regional programmes visit some of the awe-inspiring man-made structures across England.
Some are familiar, whilst others may be new discoveries for viewers.
