Vidal Sassoon is more than a hairdresser - he created styles that defined a generation. Craig Teper's film charts the career of the man who invented the bob-cut and, over the course of more than fifty years, created one of the most recognisable brands in the beauty business.

Royal Submarine Navy Mission followed life on board the Hunter Killer submarine, HMS Turbulent, as it travelled from the UK, via the conflict in Libya and the Suez Canal, to take up its role as the UK’s only platform for Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles in the troubled waters of the Middle East, as its crew spent 10 months away from their families, isolated underwater in a vessel bristling with hardware but seriously short of space.

This month the DAVE TV channel in the UK will see the appearance of Driving Wars, a clever twist on the car genre as remotely positioned drivers allowed general mayhem to happen to the vehicles. Making the remote interface work needed very low latency and the very latest receiver technology. For Driving Wars Procam provided a crew of four (two minicam technicians and two camera assistants) and a broad range of camera equipment including: minicams, five Sony HXR MC1P and two HXR MC50P covering the events, four MC50s inside the cars and six GoPro cameras for effect shots dotted around on the stunt vehicles, on the sets and with the drivers.

As classic Routemaster buses are little more than tin cans with seats, we decided that a gutted bus would be better. We found a 1962 Routemaster, recently converted into a travelling nightclub, so it had speakers, a generator, a fridge, a bar and, crucially, a supportive owner.

The challenge for So Television's BBC children's comedy series Pixel Face was shoehorning a 26-part show into a 10 week shoot. Producer Jeremy Salsby explains: "That's 15 minutes a day, so there was no room for error, so we needed to be in a studio where the director could direct from the floor. We were committed to one, two or three takes per shot and just walking to and from a gallery was a luxury we couldn't afford."

Carpool is actor Robert Llewellyn's personal response to the increasing squeeze on TV budgets. Knowing that few broadcasters were keen on bankrolling his take on chat as a traditional studio set up Llewellyn filmed his own interviews in a car, posting the results on his website Llewtube. Carpool hit a chord with the online community and, as a result, Llewellyn was able to secure big name interviews such as Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, Patrick Stewart and David Mitchell.
