Its existing productions\u2014<em>Sunday Brunch<\/em> (Channel 4), <em>Taxi of Mum and Dad<\/em> (Channel 4) and recently commissioned <em>The Mash Report<\/em> w\/t (BBC Two)\u2014are intended to transfer to appropriate production companies within the wider Endemol Shine UK group along with the production teams assigned to those shows. <em>The Wright Stuff<\/em> (Channel 5) will run the course of the contract until the end of the year within Princess.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Johnston, Endemol Shine UK&#8217;s CEO, said, \u201cThis is not a decision we are taking lightly and we have carefully considered all potential options for Princess Productions. However, taking into account the costs involved in moving the studio shows, the makeup of Princess\u2019s upcoming slate and Channel 5\u2019s recent decision to put <em>The Wright Stuff<\/em> out to tender, we can see no alternative to this difficult commercial decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrincess Productions has been responsible for many incredible titles over the past two decades, leading the way in live entertainment with shows such as <em>T4<\/em>, <em>Got to Dance<\/em> and <em>Stand Up to Cancer<\/em>. However, our industry is constantly evolving, with entertainment, in particular, going through a period of change in recent years, and in order to stay ahead of the market we need to regularly review our structure and investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lucinda Hicks, Endemol Shine UK&#8217;s COO, said, \u201cThe Princess team currently deliver 13 hours of high-quality live television each week, and it is our priority to ensure that these shows, along with the other existing entertainment titles, are not impacted in any way. As such we will be working closely with the individual broadcasters and the incredibly experienced production teams at Princess to ensure a smooth transition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Endemol Shine UK is planning to close the 20-year-old indie producer Princess Productions at the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[622,1670],"class_list":["post-10084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-endemol-shine-uk","tag-princess-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
