Happy hour for Bwark as it joins Zodiac stable

The independent production company behind hit comedy The Inbetweeners has been snapped up by Zodiak Media Group.

The founders of Bwark called it a "landmark summer" for the company following the announcement yesterday and as it waits for the movie adaptation of the show. They did not disclose the value of the deal.

The production company was set up in London by two former Channel 4 commissioning editors, Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, in 2004. The founders also wrote The Inbetweeners. Other Bwark shows include Free Agents, Angelo's and The Persuasionists. Mr Beesley said: "It's the start of a new chapter for Bwark."
