About
Pozzitive Television was founded over twenty years ago to bring together the talents of Producer/Directors Geoff Posner & David Tyler. Since then, Pozzitive has worked with most of the major comic talent in the UK, including Victoria Wood, Steve Coogan, and Armando Iannucci.Pozzitive has earned a reputation as one of the leading indie production companies in the UK - from producing the very first independent comedy ever to air on Radio 4, Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation, to the recent success of Cabin Pressure, which became the first radio sitcom to be named 'Comedy of the Year' in 2014.
Pozzitive takes delight in nurturing new talent, but also work with a number of well-established stars, producing the radio shows of comics including Milton Jones, Jeremy Hardy, Marcus Brigstocke, Kevin Eldon and Jo Caulfield.
