Background

Barraclough Carey Productions was the production company of Jenny Barraclough and George Carey that was founded in 1988 and made numerous documentaries throughout the 1990's. In 1997, the company merged with Mentorn Films (now Mentorn Media), renaming the company to Mentorn Barraclough Carey.

1st Logo (June 30, 1991-November 14, 1993)

Logo: On a white wall background, a letter "C" with a very thin "B" overlapping it is on top of the stacked text "A BARRACLOUGH CAREY production". Like with many other United Kingdom, additional credits for co-producers appear below.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, a copyright notice is added underneath.
  • Redemption Song contains an early version of this logo where it is set on a black background.
  • There is a different variant of the BBC notice where said info is italicized with its copyright notice placed underneath.
  • An alternate version of the Channel 4 notice adds "TELEVISION" to the Channel 4 name alongside a differently worded copyright notice.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the program.

Availability: Possibly extinct; can be seen on documentaries produced by the company from this period, all of which can only be found through old video recordings as they are hardly preserved by the BBC or Channel 4. It appears on the Dispatches documentary "The Audit of War", several episodes of Moving Pictures, BiteBack, among others. Its last appearance was on the Bosnian War documentary The Unforgiving.

2nd Logo (January 31, 1994-August 4, 1997)

Logo: On a dark blue background, a gold ribbon has multiple cut curves before ending on top of the same text from before but in a more normal font. There are also co-producers like before.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, the logo is set on a black background.
    • On some programs such as Empire of the Censors, the font is different and more further away from the ribbons.
      • The text may also overlap with the ribbons to make more room for extra co-producers. This was seen on Messengers from Moscow.
  • Documentaries produced by the company's northern division adds the word "NORTH" next to "CAREY".
  • The 1988 BBC logo may appear underneath the logo on shows co-produced with them.
  • On 'The National Trust Centenary, the National Trust logo is present underneath.
  • On Rescue, a boxed portion of the Gaving Weightman Productions logo is shown underneath the Barraclough Carey logo.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the program.

Availability: Extremely rare; like before, it was seen on BBC and Channel 4 documentaries from this period. Nearly all of them aren't preserved for modern releases and can be found through old tape recordings. However, one episode of BiteBack can be viewed on the BBC website and has this logo intact. The black background variant was seen on Knife to the Heart, Uppark - A Country House Reborn, Empire of the Censors, among others. The North variant can be found on Stones of the Raj and Village Voices.
