Emmanuelle Namiech, CEO of Passion Distribution, said, \u201cAlongside brand-new distinctive and diverse productions from the Tinopolis group of companies, we have worked incredibly hard to source content from talented producers from the U.S., U.K. and France to bring buyers stand-out programming in core genres. Our entertainment offering is particularly strong at this market. From awe-inspiring, breathtaking prime-time shows such as The Next Great Magician<\/em> and Robot Wars<\/em>, to The Dressing Room<\/em>; a candid fixed-rig format that is what\u2019s really going on in the dressing rooms of sports clubs up and down the country. We also welcome the return of successful long-running factual series such as Klondike: Gold Fever<\/em>, Timber Kings<\/em> and Cold Water Cowboys<\/em>, as well as new seasons of inspiring and aspirational lifestyle brands Selling Houses<\/em> and Charlie Luxton\u2019s Homes by the Sea<\/em>. Quality documentaries are a cornerstone of Passion Distribution\u2019s slate and this autumn is no exception with a great selection of unique documentaries, showcasing unique lifestyles and authentic human journeys. We are also proud to bring to market a new season of the fabulous phenomenon that is RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em>, which is climbing to new heights and is now an Emmy-winning show, thanks to RuPaul\u2019s unique talent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
