	Grundy, Reg
		Grundy was born in Sydney, where for ten years he worked in radio as a sporting commentator and personality.
		Grundy has typically sought a local production partner in a particular national territory and this co-production strategy has had three important consequences so far as the company is concerned.
		Grundy meanwhile, from his home in Bermuda, through his private investment company, RG Capital, was reported to be seeking shares in several Australian television and radio stations.

		Grundy Television had already produced one popular soap, and with the arrival of Reg Watson as Head Of Drama - during the 1970s and 80s - they launched some of the biggest in soap opera history.

	Macquarie Media: Overview
		Grundy had opened an office in Los Angeles during 1979 and by 1982 was producing dramas and game shows in the US (eg Sale of the Century for NBC, followed by Scrabble), Brunei and Hong Kong.
		Global ambitions were reflected in renaming of the organisation as Grundy World Wide and production for a range of overseas broadcasters that included the BBC (eg Going for Gold, 1988), Portugal's SIC, Spain's Tele5, Germany's Tele 5, the Netherlands' RTL 4 (Goede Tijden, a Dutch Neighbours amid the polders), Scandinavia's TV3 and Italy's RAI.
		Grundy World Wide was sold to Pearson in 1995 for an estimated $384, later passing to RTL (under the control of Bertelsmann) when Pearson offloaded its Fremantle production arm.

	Australian Production Companies
		Although it was bought in 1995 by the UK publishing and media conglomerate Pearsons, the history of the Grundy organisation is predominantly Australian and its Australian operations remain the single biggest national contribution to its overall activities.

		RCC is a very small organisation with very little fixed infrastructure and finally broke away from the parent company in 1995 so that its principal Matt Carroll could pursue wholly independent projects.

	So lucky, lucky, lucky \| Media \| MediaGuardian.co.uk
		In retrospect, it's perhaps unsurprising that Neighbours should have achieved its greatest popularity in Britain because that was where Reg Watson had learned his television.
		When Watson went home in 1973, he became head of entertainment for the Reg Grundy Organisation, the country's best-known producer of popular TV.
		Watson invented several long-running hits but was keenest to create a show about ordinary spouses in their houses on the model of Coronation Street.

	Mark Juddery - Tributes - Roger Mirams
		Even with these successes, Mirams was not earning a regular income until 1977, when producer Reg Grundy approached him with the offer: "How do you feel about eating regularly?" The result was that Mirams became a producer for The Grundy Organisation, where he remained for 25 years.
		Perhaps Grundy hired Mirams for his co-production expertise as much as his creative talent.
		In reply, Grundy produced one of Mirams' more ambitious projects: "South Pacific Adventures" (1990), a series of telemovies, whose $4 million budget made "The Lost Islands" look cheap.

	They built this industry - TV & Radio - Entertainment - theage.com.au
		A pioneer in the truest sense of the word, Reg Grundy recognised the value of and hunger for game shows in television programming and the importance of packaging formats that could be sold overseas and "indigenised".
		A radio sport presenter, he segued into television with the adaptation of a radio game show, Wheel of Fortune, in 1959.
		In the 1970s the Grundy Organisation branched into the production of drama serials - The Young Doctors, Prisoner and the ubiquitous Neighbours are among the best known - and since the mid-1980s, from its head office in Bermuda, has concentrated on developing new game formats for broadcasters worldwide.
