ZINC WINS LARGEST EVER VOLUME SERIES COMMISSION WITH 52 HOURS OF
PROGRAMMES
-- Revenue from Red Sauce commissions announced in the last two
weeks reaches an aggregate of GBP4 million
-- Red Sauce to expand to over 100 production roles
Popular factual label Red Sauce, part of Zinc Media Group, is
scaling up both its London and Manchester production and
development teams following confirmation of a significant volume of
commissions. The company has been commissioned by Channel 5 to make
52 hours of programming - the largest volume deal ever received by
a Zinc Media label. This is in addition to the 10-part series
commission, announced last week, from Dave, the first time that
Zinc Media Group has worked with the UKTV-owned channel.
Red Sauce has been commissioned by Channel 5 to make Bargain
Loving Brits in the Sun - Costa Living. This observational
documentary series charts the lives of the Brits who've swapped the
damp and grey of the UK for a new life in the UK's most popular
holiday destination, Spain. The series will be made by Red Sauce in
Manchester.
Red Sauce has also secured a 10-part series commission from
Dave, the first time that Zinc has worked with the UKTV-owned
channel. Special Ops: Crime Squad UK gives viewers a unique insight
into the workings of the UK's elite police task forces. With unique
access to the highest-level detective techniques used to tackle
crimes where ordinary policing has failed to make progress, this
gritty but intelligent series will reveal the workings of police
operative units made up of the most driven and elite detectives in
the country. The series will be made by Red Sauce in London.
