About Us
Future Network is a DVD, BluRay, Audio CD, and Book distribution and production label, operated by Quoit Media Limited, founded in 2024.
In 1997, a unique individual called Tim Beddows, with a long-established passion for archive television and film, had a vision.
For several years he had believed that there was a market for an entertainment releasing label which catered for those of us who loved watching old films and TV shows that the big names had no interest in releasing.
Tim started off by releasing VHS compilations of public information films, before his company, which morphed into Network Distributing Limited, moved into restoring and releasing archive television titles such as The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, and Robin of Sherwood.
Over the next 26 years, the company released several thousand titles, many of which would have been eternally ignored by other labels. Films and television series were lovingly restored and re-mastered from original film or video elements and the company were unrivalled in their care and vision, which emanated from their MD, Tim.
In November 2022 Tim passed away suddenly at the age of 59. Without his leadership, the company lasted only a few months before going into liquidation in 2023.
Future Network has been set up by close friends of Tim’s, who were not employees or directors of Network, with a desire to continue Tim’s work.
Before he passed away, Tim wrote the following about Network: “When so much has changed, arrived and disappeared; when you barely have time to blink and with so much put in front of you, like it or not, it is gratifying to know that we can still offer a little break from it all in form of something from the past as stirring, emotive and pioneering as anything made today.”
Future Network is proud to be continuing, albeit on a smaller scale for now, Tim’s legacy.
Future Network is operated by Quoit Media Limited, publishers of such titles as Where Have I Been All My Life? by Annette Andre, The Callan File by Robert Fairclough and Mike Kenwood, and The Prisoner – The Essential Guide by Rick Davy.
