Passion Bolster Catalogue Through Reef Deal

LONDON, August 21: Sally Miles’
Passion Distribution has signed a first-look deal with Reef Television, whose
credits include BBC One’s Sun, Sea and Bargain Spotting.

Sun, Sea and Bargain Spotting is now in its fourth season, with a total of 95 episodes. All
seasons of the show will be repped worldwide by Passion. Reef, established
in 2003 by Richard Farmbrough, is set to announce a set of new commissions for
Five, which Passion will be launching at MIPCOM.

Farmbrough noted: “Reef has a growing catalogue of completed
programs and formats and I believe Sally Miles and her newly appointed team at
Passion are brilliantly equipped to help bring our content to a wider audience.
We know the team well and they have a wealth of experience.”

Miles added: “We will certainly be working closely with [the
Reef team] to maximize for their business the benefits from the international
markets. Reef Television has been working on some really exciting formats that
feel really fresh and new to the market and that is always exciting and keeps
the passion burning!”
