'''Beryl Frances Vertue''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|CBE}} (''[[née]]'' '''Johnson'''; 8 April 1931 – 12 February 2022) was an English television producer, media executive, and agent. She was founder and chairman of the independent television production company [[Hartswood Films]].

==Early life and career==
Vertue was born in [[Croydon]], Surrey on 8 April 1931.<ref name="Guardian obit"/> She attended Mitcham county school, and left at 15 to take a typing course. She began her working life as a secretary in a shipping firm, and remained here for six years until she contracted tuberculosis. <ref name="Timesobit" /> She was sent to a sanatorium on the Isle of Wight. Shortly after her recovery, a school friend, [[Galton and Simpson|Alan Simpson]], invited her to join [[Associated London Scripts]] (ALS) as a secretary and she began working with the writers' cooperative in 1955.<ref name="Telegraphobit">{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2022/02/14/beryl-vertue-agent-manager-producer-whose-fun-factory-looked/|title=Beryl Vertue, agent, manager and producer whose 'fun factory' looked after comic giants such as Tony Hancock and Spike Milligan – obituary|work=The Telegraph|date=14 February 2022|access-date=14 February 2022}}</ref> <ref name="Timesobit" /> She wasn't keen to start work here, as she dreaded the hour-long commute. She asked for what she thought would be a prohibitive sub of ten pounds a week, and to her horror they agreed. <ref name="Timesobit" />

She started by typing up Spike Milligan's scripts for the Goon Show. Later she was tasked with phoning the BBC regarding contracts for Alan Simpson, and his colleague Ray Galton. Not only was it a successful conversation, she also managed to negotiate doubling their income for ''Hancock's Half Hour.'' From this she became their chief negotiator and agent, almost by accident, representing comedy writers [[Spike Milligan]], [[Eric Sykes]], [[Johnny Speight]], [[Galton and Simpson|Ray Galton and Alan Simpson]], and [[Terry Nation]] (for whom she negotiated to keep partial rights to his [[Dalek]] creation for ''[[Doctor Who]]'').<ref name=hartswood /> She also represented comedians [[Tony Hancock]] (until 1961)<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/roger-hancock-gjqtgfmsp6x|title=Roger Hancock|work=The Times|date=16 June 2011|access-date=14 February 2022|url-access=subscription}}</ref> and [[Frankie Howerd]].<ref name=hartswood>{{cite web |url=http://www.hartswoodfilms.co.uk/Beryl-Vertue-team.aspx |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130421020518/http://www.hartswoodfilms.co.uk/Beryl-Vertue-team.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 April 2013 |title=Beryl Vertue OBE – Producer and Chairman |publisher=Hartswood Films |date=2012 |accessdate=9 January 2012 }}</ref>

Frankie Howerd's career was in eclipse, and he was considering changing occupation by running a pub. She managed to dissuade him, and got him a booking at the Blue Angel, a London nightclub which revived his career.<ref name="Timesobit" />

==Later career==
In 1967, Vertue was invited by [[Robert Stigwood]] to join his company, which had absorbed ALS, and became deputy chairman.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2004/06_june/16/coupling_beryl_vertue.shtml |title=Beryl Vertue |publisher=[[BBC]] |date=16 June 2004 |accessdate=9 January 2012}}</ref> Sykes and Milligan ended their professional relationship with Vertue at this change, though she continued to represent Galton, Simpson and Howerd.<ref name="Telegraphobit" /> Working under the new arrangement, she became an executive producer for the newly-created Associated London Films. The first production was ''[[The Plank (1967 film)|The Plank]]'' (1967), Sykes' wordless silent film.<ref name="Guardian obit"/> In this role, Vertue was involved in film spin-offs of television comedies of writers with whom she had previously worked. Meanwhile, she sold British television formats to the United States. These successes included ''[[Steptoe and Son]]'', which became ''[[Sanford and Son]]'' in the U.S., and ''[[Till Death Us Do Part]]'', which was turned into ''[[All in the Family]]''.<ref name="Telegraphobit" /> In 1975, she was a co-executive producer of the cinema version of [[The Who]]'s rock opera ''[[Tommy (1975 film)|Tommy]]'', directed by [[Ken Russell]] and starring [[Roger Daltrey]]. The film company lasted for eight years after which she continued with the Robert Stigwood Organisation as executive vice-president producing programmes for American television.<ref name="Guardian obit"/>

Stigwood once sent her to negotiate with Ike Turner in order to allow Tina Turner to appear in the 1975 musical film, ''Tommy.'' She promised that they would take good care of Tina, and then thanked him before he'd ever really consented. Her powers of persuasion were so good that he agreed. <ref name="Timesobit" />

Vertue formed [[Hartswood Films]] in 1979.<ref name="Telegraphobit" /> It has produced many comedies including ''[[Men Behaving Badly]]'', ''[[Is It Legal?]]'', and ''[[Coupling (UK TV series)|Coupling]]''. The latter written by her son-in-law [[Steven Moffat]].<ref name="Guardian obit" /> She also served as executive producer of their dramatic series ''[[Sherlock (TV series)|Sherlock]],'' which Moffat also co-created.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/beryl-vertue-dead-sherlock-1235180327/|title=Beryl Vertue, 'Sherlock' Producer, Dies at 90|author=Yossman, K.J.|website=Variety.com|date=13 February 2022|access-date=13 February 2022}}</ref> Her daughter, [[Sue Vertue]], produced the series. <ref name="Timesobit" />

==Personal life==
Vertue married her childhood sweetheart Clem Vertue in 1951. They divorced amicably in 1984 as the relationship could not survive her many work-related absences.<ref name="Timesobit">{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/beryl-vertue-obituary-7vrzxjvf0|title=Beryl Vertue obituary|work=The Times|date=15 February 2022|access-date=15 February 2022|url-access=subscription|quote=Eventually her jet-set working life put a strain on their marriage. They remained friends but their divorce in 1984 destroyed her confidence}}</ref> The couple had two daughters: [[Sue Vertue|Sue]] and Debbie. The former also became a television producer and married writer and producer [[Steven Moffat]], of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[Sherlock (TV series)|Sherlock]]'' fame. The latter became operations director at Hartswood.<ref name="Guardian obit"/>

Vertue died on 12 February 2022, at the age of 90.<ref name="Timesobit" />
