Tiger Aspect Productions (formerly known as Tiger Television and also known as Tiger Aspect Films for theatrical films) is a British television and film production company, particularly noted for its situation comedies.
Founded by Peter Bennett-Jones, its productions have included popular hits such as The Vicar of Dibley and Mr. Bean. It has also produced television dramas such as Murphy's Law and Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking and in October 2006, its drama series Robin Hood began showing on BBC One.
They also produced the animated children's series Charlie and Lola, which was based on the books written by Lauren Child. Tiger Aspect have also made a documentary at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre (BRC), Quainton, on the life of Sir John Betjeman for his centenary celebrations.
