It is fronted by anthropologist, TV presenter and author Professor Alice Roberts, who uses one of the world\u2019s oldest rail networks to explore one of the world\u2019s most ancient civilizations.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ancient Egypt by Train<\/em> is executive produced by Steve Havers and the legendary Paul Crompton for Spark Media and Paul Heaney for BossaNova.<\/p>\n<p>The three-part <em>Lost Temples of Cambodia<\/em>, from Bright Button Productions, sets out to answer the questions that still hang over the largest religious monument in the world: the temple complex at Angkor Wat in northern Cambodia.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lost Temples of Angkor<\/em> is executive produced by Aaron Young and Freya Eden-Ellis for Bright Button, and Paul Heaney for BossaNova.<\/p>\n<p>Channel 4&#8217;s senior acquisitions manager, Polly Scates, \u00a0said: \u2018We\u2019re always looking for a new way to bring history to the channel and these series are a wonderful way to do just that. We\u2019re excited to take our audience with us on these ambitious, beautiful journeys and explore these historical sites through a new lens. It\u2019s great to be in business with Bossanova, Spark and Bright Button and bring these exciting projects to life.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Paul Heaney, CEO of BossaNova, said: \u201cWhen we turbo-charged our Development Days to a hybrid online\/in-person pitching event last year, our aim was to build on our success in matching the right ideas with the right broadcasters to get great television made, rather than just talked about. I reckon we\u2019ve struck gold with <em>Ancient Egypt by Train<\/em> and <em>Lost Temples of Cambodia<\/em>. Both are spectacular examples of the ancient history\/mystery genre that will deliver on their promise\u2014and also, I hope, mark the start of many more creative ventures with Channel 4. I\u2019m predicting that the only thing that won\u2019t be a mystery about these two compelling series is that they\u2019ll go on to sell around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BossaNova Media and the U.K.\u2019s Channel 4 are co-financing two history series, including Ancient Egypt by Train.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":18789,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[6111,289],"class_list":["post-18788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bossanova-media","tag-channel-4","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
