Video: Maverick TV’s Simon Knight Talks Reality Survival Show Escape

Simon Knight, the CEO of Maverick TV and an executive producer on Escape, tells TV Real about the challenges of producing a show like this, the experts that helped to craft the scenarios and the factors that are crucial to its casting.

Inspired by real events, Escape watches as a group of highly skilled engineers are left stranded at a crash site, surrounded by wreckage, and must find a way out. Each episode sees five new cast members battling a different terrain: desert, snow, jungle or water. The factual-entertainment series was produced by Maverick TV for Channel 4 in the U.K., and all3media international has taken the show out to the global market.
