All3Media, the television production company formed in 2003 by Bridgepoint's backing of the acquisition of Chrysalis Group's television division, is the subject of a bid by DLJ Merchant Banking Partners. The bid by the private equity arm of Credit Suisse values All3Media at £300m, according to The Times today. It is unknown whether DJL are acting alone or as part of a syndicate.

All3Media is responsible for programmes such as Shameless, Midsomer Murders and Richard and Judy and has grown by adding production companies Cactus, Mersey and North One, amongst others, to its portfolio since 2003. Interest is also being expressed in the company by trade buyer RTL, owner of channel Five and the reality show maker Endemol. Despite this interest, Bridgepoint has still not ruled out the possibility that it may pursue an IPO route to exit.
