Neil Morrissey has quit Smith Jones Brown and Cassie to set up his
own production company with fellow comedy star, Caroline Quentin, and
Nikki Welch, an SJBC producer.
Welch and the two stars of BBC TV’s Men Behaving Badly have named the
new company Quentin Morrissey. They hope to work on a variety of
television, film and commercials projects.
’It is time to spread my wings,’ Morrissey said. ’We want to govern some
of the work ourselves and to be creative in the field of
production.’
Quentin Morrissey is working out of Tangent TV’s headquarters in Soho
while finalising plans for its own offices. The company expects to sign
up a handful of directors and is looking for ’people at the cutting
edge’, although it will not attempt to break brand new directors
immediately.
’We don’t want to appear over-ambitious or too big for our boots,’
Morrissey said, ’but we can cut the mustard.’
