The deal will see the BBC\u2019s commercial and international arm act as the global distributor for House\u2019s TV slate. Access Entertainment, a recently formed venture headed up by Danny Cohen, has entered into a first-look deal to develop and finance feature films with House Productions.<\/p>\n<p>Ross said: \u201cJuliette and I are truly excited about what we can achieve together, and with our partners at BBC Worldwide and Access Entertainment. We\u2019re going to build a creative and supportive home at House Productions and look forward to growing something unique and long lasting with both new and old collaborators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Howell added: \u201cAlong with our partners, Tessa and I share a vision for the company where the flow of ideas and creative talent between film and television can achieve the best and most ambitious work.
