Like its BBC parent, BBC Wales can opt to pursue another production path. Instead of making the programmes themselves, they have an ability to commission programmes from other producers. This arrangement allows them to share both risk and reward with the contracted producer. Comparatively little of its Welsh language output is produced through such arrangements, but most of the programmes it shares with the national BBC are in fact commissioned work. Among the more famous commissioned BBC Wales programmes are: {{wi|Casanova (2005 TV serial)|Casanova}} (created by [[Russell T Davies]] and starring [[David Tennant]], with [[Nina Sosanya]] and [[Shaun Parkes]]), {{wi|Life on Mars ( | Like its BBC parent, BBC Wales can opt to pursue another production path.

In the summer of 2009, ''Merlin'' became the first BBC Wales-commissioned series to air on a mainstream American network when its first series was shown on NBC, while ''Life on Mars'' and ''Being Human'' were subject to Americanised remakes. | ||
