MIPTV Spotlight: Sky Vision

CANNES: The question “Can a dog fly a plane?” is the focus of Dogs Might Fly, a top factual highlight from Sky Vision at MIPTV.

“It’s just the sort of question that gets viewers excited about a TV series, and the process of getting a dog into a cockpit and at the controls is a remarkable one, which combines not only a huge amount of effort on the part of the dogs, but also the scientists and dog trainers involved,” says Barnaby Shingleton, the director of entertainment and factual at Sky Vision.

The relationship between animals and their keepers takes center stage in The Secret Life of the Zoo, another title the company is showcasing at MIPTV. Sky Vision is also presenting Levison Wood’s journey from Afghanistan to Bhutan in Walking the Himalayas.

“Populist factual programming continues to be a core priority for Sky Vision,” Shingleton adds.
