In the new season, she visits properties beyond the U.K. for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>In three one-hour installments, Big Deal Films\u2019 <em>Greatest Toys\u2026<\/em> goes back in time to explore toys through the ages. Beginning with the 1970s and ending with the 1990s, the episodes reminisce about the iconic toys and games that were popular in each decade.<\/p>\n<p>The Indie Initiative, set up in conjunction with The TV Collective in September 2019, supports diverse suppliers\u2019 delivery of mainstream, prime-time programs for Channel 5. It has now given rise to 12 commissions, including several on-air successes.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Frow, chief content officer at ViacomCBS Networks UK, said: \u201cThis is an important initiative and we\u2019re delighted that it\u2019s continuing to enable talented diverse-led indies to flourish in Channel 5\u2019s prime time. Curating a varied supply chain that incorporates U.K. indies of all sizes, backgrounds and geographies is absolutely crucial if we\u2019re to keep reflecting the audiences we serve at Channel 5.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simone Pennant, founder and director at The TV Collective, said: \u201cI applaud all the talent of the indies who have knocked our expectations for the Diverse-led Indie Initiative out of the ballpark. With Channel 5\u2019s belief and commitment, these producers have demonstrated how to diversify a broadcaster\u2019s supply chain, with mainstream content from Black- and Asian-run production companies. As other broadcasters start to follow suit my hope is that they will match Ben Frow\u2019s level of decisiveness, commitment and trust to create outstanding results for their audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel 5 has commissioned a second season of Sally Lindsay\u2019s Posh Sleepover and a new strand of Greatest Toys\u2026, both from its diverse-led Indie Initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16269,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[915,5559,5560],"class_list":["post-16268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-5","tag-greatest-toys","tag-sally-lindsays-posh-sleepover","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Channel 5 Orders Titles from Indie Initiative - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-titles-from-indie-initiative\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Channel 5 Orders Titles from Indie Initiative - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Channel 5 has commissioned a second season of Sally Lindsay\u2019s Posh Sleepover and a new strand of Greatest Toys\u2026, both from its diverse-led Indie Initiative.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-titles-from-indie-initiative\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-06-07T14:54:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-06-07T15:22:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Channel5-1119.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-titles-from-indie-initiative\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-titles-from-indie-initiative\/\",\"name\":\"Channel 5 Orders Titles from Indie Initiative - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-06-07T14:54:54+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-06-07T15:22:39+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-titles-from-indie-initiative\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-titles-from-indie-initiative\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-titles-from-indie-initiative\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Channel 5 Orders Titles from Indie Initiative\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
