Red Production Company is a British independent television production company, formed in 1998 by Nicola Shindler, an experienced television producer who had worked on such prestige dramas as Our Friends in the North and Cracker.
Based in Manchester in the north of England, Red's first production was the controversial drama Queer as Folk, written by Russell T. Davies and based around the lives of three gay men in the city.

 Undoing the inevitable | Inside TV
Although the old system of network scheduling was often a stitch-up at the expense of the smaller companies, at least with five major companies pitching ideas and series, there was a greater variety of programming coming to the screen than there is at present, even if this meant that some series ended before their time.
Eventually the Carlton and Granada franchise areas could carry their parent companies’ networks, with the regulator ensuring that non-digital viewers don’t lose out entirely by allowing some exchange of programmes between the two companies.
Possibly the companies in these regions could become affiliates to one of the networks, retaining their independence, producing their own local programmes but taking the bulk of the network schedule.
