BBC One Recommissions Two Saturday Night Formats

LONDON: BBC One has given the go-ahead to season three of Tonight’s The Night and season two of Secret Fortune for broadcast in a Saturday night prime-time slot later this year.

BBC Entertainment has recommissioned both shows, which will be recorded at BBC Scotland’s Pacific Quay studios. John Barrowman returns to host Tonight’s The Night, a co-production between BBC Vision Productions and Barrowman Barker Productions. Belfast-based independent production company Wild Rover will produce the second season of Secret Fortune.

Alan Tyler, executive editor for entertainment, commented, "They are first and foremost great programs. Their recommissions are fantastic news not only for the viewers who love them, but also for the in-house and independent production companies involved and for the local economy."
