Five Revives Name That Tune

LONDON: British broadcaster Five is set to roll out an updated version of the classic series Name That Tune, co-produced by GroupM Entertainment and Gallowgate, the production company set up by popular television personalities Ant and Dec.

Name That Tune will transmit on Five early next year as an eight-episode series. It is Gallowgate’s first commission for Five. "It is a slickly updated series for a modern audience with a brand-new look and feel, but has at its heart the key game play that has made the show a global success for the last five decades," said Five’s head of entertainment, Donna Taberer. “This is peak-time entertainment for a sophisticated 21st century audience. It has fabulous production values, tension, excitement, celebrity and is full of surprises. It’s Five’s first big-budget, musical entertainment series, and I’m thrilled to have it.”
