Who We Are
Raw Cut produces high quality, ground-breaking programmes across the UK’s television channels.
We pride ourselves on our ability to build trusting long-term relationships and have co-operated with some of the country’s most sensitive organisations.
Fully independent and based in the heart of London we have produced hundreds of hours of entertaining content ranging from long running series to award winning singles.
Founded in 2002 we are the industry leader in crime documentary ‘blue light’ programmes, many of which are now household names, and have worked alongside most of the UK’s police forces.
We also produce cutting-edge current affairs, history, and feature documentaries.
Forward thinking, we sell our programmes through our own distribution arm, operate our own post production facility and we have a sister production company, Tomos TV, based in Cardiff.
