Beryl Vertue
Beryl Vertue OBE, is an English television producer, media executive, and former agent. She is founder and chairman of the independent television production company Hartswood Films.
==Biography==
A former school friend of comedy writer Alan Simpson, Vertue was invited to join what was soon to become "Associated London Scripts" as a secretary-cum-girl Friday. She later found that she had become an agent, almost by stealth at ALS, representing comedy writers Spike Milligan, Eric Sykes, Johnny Speight, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson and Terry Nation (for whom she famously negotiated to partially keep his rights to his Dalek creation for ''Doctor Who''). She also represented comedians Tony Hancock (until 1961) and Frankie Howerd.
In 1967 she joined the Stigwood Organisation, which had absorbed ALS, specialising in selling British television formats to America. These successes included ''Steptoe and Son'', which became in the US ''Sanford and Son'', and ''Til Death Us Do Part'', which was turned into ''All in the Family''.
In the 1980s Vertue formed Hartswood Films, which has produced many comedies including ''Men Behaving Badly'', ''Is It Legal?'' and ''Coupling''. The latter was produced by her daughter Sue Vertue and written by son-in-law Steven Moffat. She also served as executive producer of their dramatic series ''Sherlock''.
