Nigel Pickard Quotations

We're bringing out our strongest shows and supporting them with a major marketing campaign.

This was the standout show from the US this season and we are delighted to have secured it for ITV.

It's clear to us that ITV1must deliver on its unique selling point as the channel of mass audiences. ITV1 at its best still has enormous pulling power. When ITV brings out its big guns, it has real firepower.

I hope this investment dismisses the idea that ITV is abandoning its heritage.

Claudia has an amazing track record in finding break out hits and she has had a great decade at ITV. Anyone who knows Claudia knows once she's made her mind up there's no going back so we wish her the very best in whatever she does next and look forward to working with her again in the future.
