Red Sauce has scored Zinc Media Group\u2019s largest-ever commission, a deal for 136 hours of Bargain Loving Brits<\/em>.<\/p>\n The new two-year deal comprises 120 hours of the daytime version, Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun<\/em>, as well as 16 hours of the peak version. This more than doubles the 54 hours Red Sauce secured for the series last year.<\/p>\n \u201cThis commission is not only a fantastic endorsement of Bargain Loving Brits<\/em> but of our whole Manchester team,\u201d said Tom Edwards, creative director of Red Sauce. \u201cWe are thrilled with this longer-term commitment from Channel 5, which speaks to the faith the channel has in everything Bargain Loving Brits<\/em>. This huge order allows us to creatively refresh our approach to the series and to identify and nurture production talent over a much longer term than ever before\u2014of benefit to them, us and the wider industry.\u201d<\/p>\n Ben Smith, executive producer at Red Sauce, added, \u201cBargain Loving Brits<\/em> continues to be a huge hit. A commission on this scale presents a fantastic challenge\u2014and opportunity. We plan to hone in on our most-loved characters and plot a way to reliably deliver a huge number of stories that still allows for the natural, real-life and beloved docu-soap feel. It\u2019s a very exciting creative refresh. The three Bargain Loving Brits<\/em> series fit so well together\u2014whether it\u2019s peak, daytime or the U.K.-based Bargain Loving Brits by the Sea<\/em>, which returns this spring. We are delighted with the popularity of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Red Sauce has scored Zinc Media Group\u2019s largest-ever commission, a deal for 136 hours of Bargain Loving Brits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":9611,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2960,2961,2962,2963,2964,2965,2966],"class_list":["post-9610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bargain-loving-brits","tag-bargain-loving-brits-in-the-sun","tag-ben-hollys-little-explorer-challenge","tag-ben-smith","tag-red-sauce","tag-tom-edwards","tag-zinc-media-group","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
