Tigress to Produce New Event Series

BRISTOL, March 3: Tigress
Productions has been commissioned by Five to produce a new event series, Jaguar
Adventure with Nigel Marven, set
to air later this year.

Jaguar Adventure with
Nigel Marven follows the presenter
and naturalist in search of the biggest jaguars in the world. Marven spends a
month uncovering the secrets of Pantanal, a large Brazilian wetland, in his
quest to find jaguars.

Additionally, Tigress is
also set to produce a further four one-hour Nature Shock films for Five, following the success the first
series had on the channel. The films are Tasmanian Devils, Monster from the North, The Whale that Blew Up in the Street and Supersize Pigs.

Andrew Jackson, the
managing director of Tigress Productions, said: “Our relationship with Five
continues to go from strength to strength. Nigel Marven is a wonderfully
enthusiastic wildlife presenter and we’re delighted to be working with him and
Five again to make another series of adventurous natural history shows. We’re
equally pleased to have secured a second series commission for Nature Shock. It’s great to see Five backing new ways of making
natural history and I’m pleased to see that we continue to be at the forefront
of reinventing the genre.”
