About

[edit]

Pozzitive Television was founded by Geoff Posner & David Tyler. Since then, Pozzitive has worked with 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.[2]
