The Biz was a BBC children's television drama series about a group of teenagers at a fictional stage school.
The series was written by Chris Ellis and Sarah-Louise Hawkins. The director was Nigel Douglas. It ran for three series, from 1994 to 1996.
Set at Markov's School of Dance and Drama, it was a portmanteau show in which different students took centre stage from week to week. It showed training, auditions and performances.
Paul Nicholls, in one of his early roles, played up-and-coming star Tim Marshall. The role reflected his own later life as Tim had to deal with attention from the press and the public.
