DCD Rights has announced a raft of international sales for popular travel series Sue Perkins’ Big Adventure: Paris to Istanbul.
Produced for Channel 4 UK and ABC TV Australia by Perpetual Entertainment, the series sees Perkins embarking on an adventure tracking the famed Orient Express, exploring vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes and the people who give each city its unique identity.
Thanks to the newly announced sales, it’s now set to air on APT (USA), BBC Earth (Poland, Africa, Asia), NRK Norway, AMC Networks International Central and Northern Europe (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia), MAX (Netherlands), HRT Croatian Television, RUV (Iceland) and GBC (Gibraltar).
DCD has also acquired Perpetual’s brand-new travel series, Bill Bailey’s Vietnam Adventure, in which the award-winning comedian and musician travels the length of modern Vietnam on the 50th anniversary of the dramatic withdrawal of the US forces from Saigon.
Nicky Davies Williams, CEO, DCD Rights, comments “We are seeing a huge amount of interest in talent-led travel series with our clients across all parts of the world.
“These series are particularly popular when they are presented by hosts that are as charming and inquisitive as Sue and Bill.
“It’s a real pleasure to see them engage with so many characters on their journey, discovering little known yet fascinating stories and locations that show these countries off to their very best.”
