The company was launched as Firefly in 2004 by Nick Curwin and Magnus Temple. It quickly became an important supplier of distinctive factual programmes including Anatomy For Beginners, To Kill A Burglar: The Tony Martin Story, The Thieving Headmistress, Going Cold Turkey, Kill It Cook It Eat It, Jamie's Fowl Dinners, The World's...and Me and The Family.

In five years we have made more than 150 hours of some of the most talked about television in the UK. We were a finalist at the Broadcast Awards 2006 in the Best Independent Production Company category, have won two Royal Television Society awards, are Bafta nominated and have been listed by Realscreen as one of the top 100 indies in the world.

We specialise in thought-provoking, ambitious, peak-time programmes produced with passion and to the highest standard.

In January 2007 Firefly was acquired by Shine and in January 2009 Firefly became Dragonfly.
