C4 Commission for October Films

LONDON: October Films is expanding the Rude Tube brand into its first full series on Channel 4.

Hosted by Alex Zane, the 3×50-minute series of Rude Tube will be produced by Matt Robins and Jos Cushing, and executive produced by Adam Bullmore for October Films. The episodes will feature more outrageous and bizarre viral clips. RDF Rights owns all international rights to the original program and the new series.

Adam Bullmore, the creative director for October Films, said: “Rude Tube has been a break-through brand for us. It further establishes October as a company that devises and delivers entertaining TV across the full range of factual programming. It’s wonderful to know that it has a dedicated fan base on both Channel 4 and E4, so we’re delighted to have been given the opportunity to take Rude Tube to the next level with a series commission.”

He added: “Its success here and internationally all stems from being given the time and support by C4 to get the brand right from the outset.”
