DRG has inked an exclusive two-year, first-look deal with Brown Bob Productions, which specializes in factual and factual entertainment.<\/p>\n
The first-look deal sees DRG picking up distribution rights for all future Brown Bob productions. Founded by Jacqueline Hewer and Nicki Gottlieb, Brown Bob is behind such series as Paul Merton\u2019s Secret Stations<\/em> for Channel 4 and Inside the Ambulance<\/em> for W (UKTV).<\/p>\n Katy Cundall, the senior VP of acquisitions at DRG, commented: \u201cBrown Bob is a really interesting company and has been on my wishlist for a partnership for some time\u2014so we are very excited at having Nicki, Jacqueline and the team join the wider DRG family. Brown Bob brilliantly combines passion and experience to produce top-quality factual and factual-entertainment programming, and is particularly adept at creating volume series that engage prime-time audiences. Such volume is very attractive to broadcasters\u2014and us as a distributor\u2014and it demonstrates Brown Bob\u2019s ability to fully explore and extend ideas, telling rich, multi-layered stories.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBrown Bob was first introduced to DRG as a suggested distributor and we are excited that this has developed into a successful and broad-based partnership,\u201d said Nicki Gottlieb, Brown Bob Productions\u2019 managing director. \u201cKaty and the team fully understand our business and are totally supportive of our ambitions and strategy. DRG\u2019s size was also part of the appeal: it is small enough to care and the team is always accessible, but it is also big enough to make a meaningful investment in us and our content. We are now confidant that with DRG\u2019s financial and creative backing, as well as its extensive knowledge of the international TV market, Brown Bob will quickly go from strength to strength, delivering broad-based factual content and formats that will succeed in the U.K., as well as with broadcasters overseas.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DRG has inked an exclusive two-year, first-look deal with Brown Bob Productions, which specializes in factual and factual entertainment.<\/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":[1031,367],"class_list":["post-10103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-brown-bob-productions","tag-drg","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
