Blink was set up by Dan Chambers and Justine Kershaw in May 2007 to produce high quality, headline hitting documentaries.In its first three years Blink has had over 50 programmes on air. We make factual, features, documentaries, entertainment, drama-doc and comedy. Our award-winning programmes are noted for their intelligence, warmth and creativity. We relish the creative challenge of telling the

‘untellable’ whether it’s visualising the extraordinary story of reproduction by scaling s***m up to human size or exploring the sensitive subject of death through a ground-breaking science experiment. We have a passion for making stand-out television, from one-off feature length documentaries to each individual episode of a ten-part series. Our programmes rely on strong relationships with all our contributors – from experts and celebrity presenters to people with an extraordinary story to tell. We also value our collaborations off-screen and have worked with other producers, sponsors and advertisers to create new formats. We have put together coproduction deals with broadcasters in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and France and our programmes have sold to over 50 countries around the world.

Brand new premiere

‘Prime Suspect: Murder In Suburbia’ investigates one of Britain’s most baffling cold cases. Robert Jones was a family doctor in the picturesque town of Coggeshall, Essex, where he lived with his 35-year-old wife Diane.

In July 1983, Diane vanished…

Three months later her body was discovered. Suspicion centred on her husband, yet no culprit has ever been identified. Forty years on, this feature length special explores new evidence from detectives, friends, and neighbours, peeling back the shocking layers to reveal the truth that is stranger than fiction and that the reality of Diane’s secret life was far from what anyone imagined
