Hardcash Productions was set up by David Henshaw in 1992. The rather abrasive name was a reference to an undercover expose of tight fisted employers made by David for the BBC, but - for legal reasons - never transmitted. David set up Hardcash to remake the programme for Channel 4 as a Cutting Edge. It was broadcast under the simple title 'Undercover' and kick-started theUndercover Britain and Countryside Undercover strands that ran for several years on the channel.
Hardcash has since then made a variety of films - documentary, current affairs and a range of cheeky pre-Louis Theroux interviews in which Simon Sebag Montefiore tormented the likes of Jeffery Archer, Ann Widdecombe and Max Clifford.
In the past few years, Hardcash has won three Emmys, a BAFTA and three
RTS Journalism Awards for a strong range of current affairs programmes
made for Channel 4's
Dispatches.
