In association with North West Business Insider and Deloitte - 18th May 2011

 

Interviewed by Michael Taylor, Editor of North West Business Insider

 

Tony Wood has some incredible stories to tell. He's worked alongside and inspired some of the best creative talents this country has produced. He knows about what makes a special creative space where good ideas can fly. And at Lime Pictures, where he's the creative director, he's now making what he thinks is the most ground breaking television he has ever been involved in.

 

But here are some things you might learn. How he won over 100 awards in his time with Coronation Street, including a BAFTA in 2004. Why Jimmy McGovern walked out of Brookside twenty years ago this month. What it was like working with Chris Evans, Guy Ritchie and Mathew Vaughn on the TV series of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. How the highest rated kids TV drama in the USA is made in Liverpool.
