When we launched The Garden in 2010 we said our purpose was:
"to make cutting edge, ambitious, distinctive factual programmes for major broadcasters in the UK and internationally; and to be the most ideal production company we can be, where programme-makers can do their very best work and that always delivers exceptional television.”
Since then we’ve produced more than 300 hours of some of Britain’s most memorable factual television, topped industry peer polls and won numerous BAFTA, RTS and Broadcast Awards.
Our purpose remains exactly the same.

The story of Britain’s deadliest illegal gun. An exploration of the causes and consequences of violence.
Changing hands over a decade - used in eleven shootings and three murders - this is the story of Britain’s deadliest illegal gun. Made by a BAFTA award-winning team, this bold hybrid of documentary and drama charts every shooting of Gun No. 6, to confront us with the realities of modern gun crime. The film honours the lives lost to Gun No. 6, through the testimony of loved-ones left behind, but it also asks us to listen to the perpetrators of violent crime too. This film explores why men pick up guns and the shockwaves that follow each shooting, for the victims, the police, communities and perpetrators.
As governments and news headlines wrestle with the reality of gun and knife crime, Gun No. 6 explores our relationship with violence.
