· Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, quote: "It has been a joy watching audiences embrace this incredible journey of self-discovery, friendship and purpose with Lyra over the past two seasons. Jane, Dan and everyone on the Bad Wolf team have done such a tremendous job bringing Philip's beloved world to life, and I cannot wait for the fans to get a front row seat to all that is in store in this gripping and poignant final chapter."

· Jane Tranter, Bad Wolf Founder and Executive Producer quote: "'The Amber Spyglass' is the most gloriously complex of Philip Pullman's novels to adapt for TV but with our world class creative team in Cardiff no challenge is too daunting.

Jack, Francesca and Amelia's scripts capture the brilliance of Philip's worlds and we are joined by our much-loved existing cast and some exceptional talent new to the series."

· Dan McCulloch, Executive Producer quote: "The moment we started season one of HIS DARK MATERIALS, we had mapped out all three novels to know the direction in which where we were heading. Every detail and character within this incredible work of fiction has been analysed and discussed for four years now, and to finally arrive in the many worlds of 'The Amber Spyglass' is thrilling."

· Ben Irving, Commissioning Editor, BBC Drama quote: "Philip Pullman's extraordinary trilogy of novels reaches new heights in 'The Amber Spyglass,' and this incredible creative team have risen to the challenge every step of the way.
