World\u2019s End isn\u2019t just a fantastic first production to welcome to The Space Project, it\u2019s an innovative new approach to programme making, responding head-on to changing patterns of TV consumption and audience expectations and we\u2019re looking forward to being an enthusiastic partner in this cracking new commission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peter Salmon, BBC Director England, added: \u201cThe region has a growing reputation for producing top quality drama from Newcastle to Liverpool and all points in between. Manchester and Salford are booming with creative and digital businesses and it is wonderful to welcome another world class facility onto the scene in the North West.
