Acknowledgements
Much of the research that informs The STATS has come from the Information Unit’s work over the years
compiling the statistics for The BFI Film & Television Handbook. We would like to thank the Handbook editor,
Eddie Dyja and Sean Delaney and his Library Services staff.
This work would not have been possible without the co-operation of a number of bodies who have provided
us with information since 1991. This particularly includes Screen Finance magazine, Screen Digest magazine
and, in many cases, film producers and distributors themselves.
All reasonable measures have been taken to ensure the accuracy of information in The STATS but the
publisher cannot accept responsibility for any errors or omissions or any liability resulting from the use or
misuse of such information.
Introduction to 2nd edition (2006)
The vogue for measuring activity of all sorts is a constant presence in today’s moving image
industry, and as that industry starts to deliver its product in more diverse ways it becomes
increasingly important to be able to make comparisons across time.
One of the problems that besets any researcher as they set out to make these kinds of
comparisons is knowing where to start given the variety of sources for the data and the
fact that there is inevitably a mix of publicly available information and some that has to be
obtained from more specialized sources.
The beauty of the publication you are now looking at is that it brings all of these together in
one source and has been re-edited to make them all available in a single volume, drawing
upon the annual tables and other material previously published in the bfi Film and Television Handbooks, including the final, separate volumes from 2005.
The Stats also represents a historical period in the art of collecting and collating statistics
which reflects the period before the responsibility for collecting some of these statistics
passed to the UK Film Council’s Statistics Unit, and for commercial television from ITC to
OFCOM.
Students and other researchers will find this an invaluable resource for an overview of the
years in question as will those in the industry keen to consider the past when they plan for
the future.
We are grateful to everyone who has supported this research in the past, including colleagues and former colleagues who worked hard gathering the raw data. Finally I would like
to point out that many of the sources used continue to be collected and made available via
our Reading Room and via Information Services, and there are of course other newer sources
that are also available.

Introduction to 1st edition (2003)
The BFI Film and Television Handbook has been an fixture on the desks of many people in
these industries for many years. Over the years, its summaries of the key industry statistics have developed into essential reading for everybody from experienced professionals to
casual browsers.
While the directory sections of the Handbook can go out of date fairly quickly as companies
and organisations move or go out of business, or as new ones start up, most of the industry
statistics never do. They’re no longer last year’s hot figures, but they gather both historical
and commercial value as time series build up and a retrospective view is formed. In some
respects you could say that they become more useful rather than less.
But not everybody wants to keep a shelf full of old bfi Handbooks in their office, and having
the data dispersed like that is inconvenient and unhelpful. What somebody needs to do is to
bring them all together in a single volume.
Which brings us to “The Stats”. Here we have all of the relevant tables, all of the important
figures, with the kind of thoughtful organisation and expert analysis that can only derive
from years of experience, a thorough knowledge and understanding of the film and television business and a ready familiarity with the kinds of questions that people in the industries need to be asking.
The Information Services staff of the BFI National Library can bring all of those things, and
that is what makes “The Stats” so special. This is a new venture for us, but it’s one that we
feel confident will deliver what many people in Film and Television are looking for.

PREFACE
by Philip Wickham
We are enormously grateful to all these
organisations for their support over the
years in ensuring that the handbook is a
definitive source of information, bringing
together data from a variety of sources to
create an annual snapshot of the media
industry.
Sources that have helped us shed light
on the media in Britain, and sometimes
elsewhere, are as follows:
INTRODUCTION
Over the last ten years the Information
Service in the bfi National Library has
compiled the statistics section of the BFI
Film & Television Handbook. This report
gathers together this decade of data to
provide The STATS - an overview of the film,
television, video and DVD industries in the
UK as they grew between 1990 and 2001.
We reproduce the statistics from each
handbook, year by year as they appeared.
Following this are cumulative charts and
tables, which trace the development of the
industry by showing how figures dealing
with cinemas, audiences, and TV channels
changed in this period. .
FILM PRODUCTION
Our annual round up of films produced
each year with any British involvement has
traditionally used data on companies, titles
and budgets published by Screen Finance
magazine, which is published every two
weeks by Informa Media. In the last 2-3
years we have supplemented this by looking
at The British Council’s self-entry website
www.britfilms.com and our own records
and contacts. The weekly trade paper Screen
International is also valuable as it carries
a weekly list of films currently shooting
in the UK. We interpret all the findings
by organising them into our own, unique
category system based on degrees of British
involvement.
Over ten years some tables in the bfi Film
& Television Handbook have come and
gone. This is due to the transformation
of media markets in an era of increasing
globalisation, fluctuating economic
conditions and the vagaries of consumer
taste. Some tables were based on areas
of interest that were public talking points
for a few years then seemed to pass, such
as complaints on particular programmes
to the Broadcasting Standards Council. In
other cases industry change made them
redundant – there becomes little point in
a table showing ITV regional companies
contributions to the network when the
same two companies own most of them – or
the data became elusive, as with European
production investment or satellite channel
subscriptions.
This sees British films, or films made in
Britain, as falling into one of the following
groups:
CATEGORY A – Feature films where the
cultural and financial impetus is from the
UK and where the majority of personnel are
British.
However the bulk of the tables have stayed
remarkably consistent –we will always want
to know what films or programmes were
made, how much money they earned and
who went to see them.
CATEGORY B – Majority UK Co-productions.
Films in which, although there are foreign
partners, there is a UK cultural content and
a significant amount of British finance and
personnel.
CATEGORY C – Minority UK Co-Productions.
Foreign (non US) films in which there is a
small UK financial involvement. Most titles
would not appear to be British films to the
audience.
SOURCES
As the tables have stayed largely consistent
so have the sources used to compile them.
Within the last two or three years we have
started to contact producers and distributors
directly and increasingly we have adapted
and interpreted the information to make the
data more accessible for the general reader
or to clarify certain market trends. This
would not be possible without the work of
other publications and information sources
that gather the figures together in the first
place.
BFI Information Services
CATEGORY D – American financed, or partfinanced, films made in the UK. Most titles
have a UK cultural content.
CATEGORY E – American films with some
British financial involvement.

Screen Finance is also a useful resource for
most aspects of the British film industry,
including distribution patterns of UK
productions and developments in the
labyrinthine world of film finance in the UK,
which range from government grants to tax
exemptions to sale and leaseback deals.
value of advertising in cinemas and work
out the annual average ticket price.
Leicester based company Dodona Research
specialises in research on cinema exhibition,
publishing a set of international reports
called Cinemagoing. Screen Finance also
occasionally carries articles on exhibition
and regularly updates on admissions.
FUNDING
In the UK the success of a film is measured
by its box office gross, but other territories
calculate in terms of admissions to
particular titles. The European Audiovisual
Observatory compiles relevant figures based
on available admissions data from 12 EU
countries.
Screen Digest also produces reports on
international exhibition. Generally the
magazine is a useful source of information
on global media markets, offering
comparative figures and often forecasts and
projections. It also frequently examines
data on the impact of new technology on
consumers and the industry.
In the last few years we have tried to
track the ever-burgeoning system of
production awards, especially since the
advent of the National Lottery funding
for individual projects in 1995. This has
become even more vast since the advent of
The Film Council, which took over funding
responsibilities in England from the Arts
Council in 2000. Screen Finance detailed
awards through the Arts Council and
through the three franchise organisations
(The Film Consortium, Pathe and DNA) set
up in 1997. The UK Film Council, through
their website, www.ukfilmcouncil.org.uk list
details of the awards through their new film
funds. Details of film funding since the mid
1990s can also be found in raw data form
on the Department of Culture, Media and
Sport’s site www.culture.gov.uk
VIDEO/DVD
Information on video, and in the last
couple of years the rapidly expanding
DVD market, comes from the British Video
Association (BVA). Their statistician Doug
Hopper collates data from the market
research companies that track rental
and retail transactions. These bodies are
currently Rental Monitor (MRIB covered
rentals previously) and CIN respectively.
They also now track DVD information.
Because of sampling difficulties financial
returns on video and DVD releases are not
made publicly available, however the BVA
does publish ranking lists, which give a
good idea about public tastes in the home
entertainment market.
In Scotland awards for production funding
are handled through Scottish Screen - prior
to 2000 they were through the Arts Council
of Scotland. In 2002 the baton in Northern
Ireland was passed from the Arts Council
(ACNI) to the Film Commission (NIFC).
Welsh awards have stayed with the Arts
Council of Wales throughout. All these
organisations have been very helpful in
supplying data to the handbook.
CINEMAS
A number of sources have made a
significant contribution to this section over
the years. For box office figures Nielsen
EDI (previously known as EDI or AC Nielsen
EDI) are invaluable. Their database report
lists gross theatrical box office receipts in
UK and Ireland alphabetically by title going
back comprehensively to the mid 1980s.
Their release schedule includes listings by
distributor and details of upcoming releases.
US versions of these publications are also
produced and are used to put together
figures outlining the performance of British
films in the American market.
The trade association ELSPA (European
Leisure Software Producers’ Association)
produces information on the video games
industry, much of which is listed on their
website www.elspa.org.uk
TELEVISION
BARB (Broadcasters’ Audience Research
Board) research audience data for UK
television and produce a weekly report
giving ratings and other information for
each programme. Companies such as TarisTaylor Nelson Sofres (formerly AGB) have
converted this information into tables by
genre, channel or demographic type. Until
last year this was published in yearbook
The Cinema Advertising Association tracks
the demographics and frequency of cinema
going, which are published in the CAVIAR
reports. They also receive figures on the
BFI Information Services
iv
form but is now purchased on request from
the company. Broadcast magazine publishes
the top ratings hits in various categories
each week.
The Independent Television Commission
(ITC) - soon to be part of OFCOM researches data on the TV audience and
on independent (ie non-BBC) channels
in the UK, including cable and satellite
broadcasters.
GENERAL STATISTICS
Each year we publish some annual
demographic and economic indicators to
put the preceding media information into
context. This data - on GDP (Gross Domestic
Product), inflation and population - is
supplied by the Office of National Statistics
(ONS).

Figures are taken from the AGB Audience Statistics Yearbook. Although AGB
compile audience data for BARB, published BARB figures sometimes differ
from AGB's; eg. the top rated feature film in the table "Top Audiences for
Feature Films on Television 1991" (p.14) does not appear in AGB's Top 20
although it ought to be no.11. The apparent inconsistency in rankings in this table
(eg. Watching and Denis Norden's Laughter File) is due to a change in the
audience measurement methods in August 1991.

Note: the applications made for the current ITV franchises included detailed
programme proposals and projected number of hours which the applicants aimed
to screen on network ITV. The beginning of these new franchises on 1/1/1993 also
meant the creation of the ITV Network Centre as a body solely responsible for
commissioning programmes for the network. The Network Centre has rejected
many applications from the ITV companies.
