Nice One Ties Up with Crystal Maze Producer Fizz

Northern Ireland’s Nice One Productions has entered into a partnership with The Crystal Maze producer Fizz, part of Banijay Group’s RDF.

Fizz will collaborate with the comedy entertainment business to co-develop and co-produce a variety of formats for local and national broadcasters. Fizz and Nice One are initially targeting five original ideas, with all productions to be made in Northern Ireland using local talent and locations. The pact is meant to increase non-scripted activity coming out of the nation.

Nice One’s founder and creative director, Chris Jones, stated: “Working with our talented friends in Fizz/Banijay is a big step forward for Nice One and gives us a real chance to create and produce funny, feel-good formats from Northern Ireland.”

Fizz’s creative director, Neale Simpson, added: “We’re really excited to be collaborating with Chris and the Nice One team to develop and produce new ideas together. All of my attempts at a topical gag to end this quote have been vetoed by the rest of the team.”
