    9 Nov 2007, 1030 MARTIN CLUNES Pro-Chancellor, Martin Clunes is an actor of national renown who has played in a very wide range of film, television and stage productions, and first achieved his huge following for his role as Gary in Men Behaving Badly. His many other successes include the lead role in Doc Martin, and in feature films such as Shakespeare in Love. He is a son of the classical actor Alec Clunes and a cousin of the late Jeremy Brett, television’s Sherlock Holmes, so perhaps Martin’s school should not have been taken by surprise when he told the careers adviser that he too wanted to be an actor. The headmaster was discouraging (‘it’s not going to happen: buckle down’) but a teacher who evidently had some foresight saw his potential and put him in Love’s Labour’s Lost as Costard, the clown who is also very much at home with wit and wordplay. So his first performance was a comedy part in a classic play, and if comedy drama has been his forte ever since, he has by no means lost contact with the classics. Martin went to the Arts Educational Schools in London, on the strength of an audition, at the age of 16, and then into repertory, now more often playing Shakespeare’s courtiers than his fools. He made his name in the long-running TV situation comedy Men Behaving Badly, where he played Gary Strang, a character described (and I quote) as a ‘lager-loving loafer’. The show, its stars and and its writer have won many awards, and it was voted the best sitcom in the BBC's history at the Corporation's 60th anniversary celebrations in 1996.

  • Why Securing Platform Carriage Deals Is Vital for Britbox a Report Prepared by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates Ltd
    March 2020 Why securing platform carriage deals is vital for BritBox A report prepared by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates Ltd Why securing platform carriage deals is vital for BritBox Summary: • Ahead of BritBox’s launch in the UK last November our research found that 19 per cent of people were interested in it; we predicted this might translate into 1.7 million subscribers at the end of the first year • Having conducted further research almost four months after launch, we found that only 1.5 per cent of respondents have a subscription, representing around 380,000 subscribers • A further 560,000 have tried the service but won’t be subscribing, while 100,000 have already cancelled their paid subscriptions – suggesting that BritBox has failed to capitalise on the initial interest • The net promoter score of -46 indicates that a sizeable majority of consumers would not recommend the service to friends • With Disney+ launching on March 24, following its strong performance in the US, there is a risk that BritBox will struggle to establish itself in the face of significant and increasing competition • If BritBox is to have any chance of success in the UK, ITV and the BBC need to act fast to capitalise on brand recognition, and implement platform carriage deals as soon as possible BritBox – ITV and the BBC’s subscription video on demand (SVoD) service – arrived in the UK last November, offering a library of British content and a small number of original programmes. At a cost of £5.99 per month, BritBox is slightly cheaper than the standard plans from the biggest subscription video on demand (SVoD) players in the UK market: Netflix costs £8.99 per month, while Amazon Prime Video costs £7.99 per month.

    Martin Clunes - Islands of Oz Popular British actor turns to the islands of Australia for his next documentary series. (21 March 2016) Beloved English actor Martin Clunes will voyage around Australia’s islands for a brand new documentary series produced by Prospero Productions and Buffalo Pictures for Seven. MARTIN CLUNES - ISLANDS OF OZ turns the spotlight on the world’s biggest island, Australia, which is surrounded by its own vast ring of islands - more than 8,000 of them. The series takes Martin from the East Coast islands with their European settlers, to the indigenous people and watery wildernesses of the North and West, to the South Coast islands with their strong links to the mainland and beyond. It is a voyage around the adventure playgrounds, the best-kept secrets and the astonishing surprises of the islands of Australia. “I’ve always been fascinated by islands, each one a microcosm that tells us something different about our world, and Australia’s islands have it all,” says Martin. “Exotic creatures, spectacular marine life and of course the different people who inhabit them – their sheer diversity is truly amazing.” Production on ISLANDS OF OZ recently commenced on Australia’s East Coast. The series will air on Seven later this year. Martin is best known for portraying Dr Martin Ellingham in the popular 7TWO comedy-drama Doc Martin and Gary Strang in the ‘90s British sitcom Men Behaving Badly. He has also made a number of wildlife documentaries over the years including Martin Clunes and A Lion Called Mugie and presented Islands of Britain for ITV in 2009.
