Possessed Setting Up Regional Base in Manchester

Possessed, an ITV Studios label, is set to open up a regional base in Manchester’s MediaCityUK called Man Possessed.

Former BBC Commissioner Caroline Roberts-Cherry, who oversaw three seasons of Possessed’s ITV daytime quiz show Cash Trapped in her role as a freelance executive producer, is heading up Man Possessed. The Switch, a new quiz show commission for ITV, will be the first program to be produced out of the new regional base.

Glenn Hugill, managing director and founder of Possessed, said: “We cannot wait to create more opportunities for regional commissions and The Switch is the perfect show to launch Man Possessed. It’s fast, genuinely funny and incredibly tense in equal measure, with Sanjeev [Bhaskar] proving an absolute revelation as host. Plus, you never know who is going to win until the last question, every single time.”

Hugill added: “Caroline has the Possessed gene. She is a peerless program maker and is another outstanding addition to our exceptional team.”
