Cop Drama 'HolbyBlue' Gets St. Anne's Treatment

'HolbyBlue' is first production from Tony Jordan’s new company Red Planet Pictures for the BBC.
The involvement of co-producers Kudos (Life on Mars, Spooks and Hustle) adds to the stellar creative team behind HolbyBlue, a series which is sure to attract attention from the fanbase of its sister dramas 'Holby City' and 'Casualty'.
The production was shot on Sony 750 HDCam at 25fps and cut at Saint Anne’s on Avid Adrenaline by Jeremy Strachan, Jim Hampton and Scott Flyger. The episodes were then conformed and onlined on the Saint Anne’s HD Avid Nitrus by Dominic Gardiner with grading from HDCam via Saint Anne’s DaVinci 2k.
Finally, the sound was mixed by Saint Anne’s Head of Audio, David Old, with Kevin Brazier and Louise Fletcher completing the sound editing.
Executive Producer for Red Planet Pictures and writer for HolbyBlue, Tony Jordan, commented: "HolbyBlue is a fresh new approach to dramatising a modern day police force that not only has to deal with hard-nosed criminals but is expected to help fight the ‘war on terror’ on home soil."
Executive producer for Kudos, Karen Wilson added: "We’re ecstatic to have such an exciting cast on board with Kacey Ainsworth, Cal Macaninch, Kieran O’Brien and Zoe Lucker to name but a few."
