I've seen Stephen Brown on our local TV channel. Who ever produces this has so much enthusiasm but so little resources it could never be considered a 'professional' or money making group. I say they need help & support not deletion.

Thank you so much for that vote of confidence.
Beacon is a lowly resourced production group that thrives on volunteers and enthusiasm, and has done since it began in 1987. In April 2004 the club received a grant for its work from the lottery scheme Awards for All of £5,000 which has refurbished all of the clubs equipment and props. The club also now has its own purpose fitted studio. It continues to unite local people and train students up in a variety of media related jobs.
[edit] Article status
I believe that enough reliable, verifiable information can be gathered from the Beacon Productions website and the credits on the programme itself to provide details on the cast, the production team and the show's characters, bumping this stub up to a full Wikipedia article. I would like to make an attempt at this, and will try to conform to the Wikipedia guidelines as far as I am able. However, it may need someone to check my work, to confirm the accuracy of the information and to make it look neat and in line with the style guide. Is anyone up for this? I would also like to know whether a picture or two from the show reproduced here would conform with copyright laws (possibly the show's logo and a shot or two of the cast?). I may need help with image hosting, if this is acceptable. Abdullah Azzam
[edit] Photos
I am currently in touch with Stephen Launay at Beacon Productions. Stephen has been very helpful in offering to supply information on the series and has also given me a selection of very good photographs, some of which I would like to use in this article. Stephen Launay is the creator of Stephen Brown and oversees every aspect of the programme, so permission has effectively been granted. I have also glanced over the rules for image hosting and will try to use the best options and the tags which seem most appropriate. However, I have found the rules extremely complicated to follow so please try not to be too hard on me, I am only writing up a series that I have watched and enjoy! Abdullah Azzam
[edit] YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally. Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 07:26, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
The official site is now promising to add episodes to be viewable or downloadable while online, so this particular link is not critical. abdullahazzam
[edit] Comment removed
Someone posted up a rather irrelevant comment regarding their personal opinion of the show. The comment had nothing useful to say and was highly subjective, so I have removed it. abdullahazzam
