She will take the sleeper train covering 1,600 miles from Asia to Europe, making her way up the Balkans from Sofia to Belgrade and Timisoara before eventually finishing at Budapest, the northern limit of the Ottoman Empire.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ottoman Empire by Train<\/em> has already been prebought by SBS Australia and SVT in Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlice relishes the chance to broaden her knowledge about these great empires from the past by talking to authentic local experts who are rooted in their communities,\u201d said Steve Havers, managing director of Spark Media. \u201cAlice does, of course, show these local experts great respect, but her scientific background means that she\u2019s always pressing them for evidence and challenging traditional thought. Alice and the team can\u2019t wait to see what adventures the train will take them on next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul Heaney, CEO of BossaNova, added, \u201cWhatever else is happening, the new world of financing unscripted is alive and very well, and <em>Ottoman Empire by Train<\/em> is the proud follow-up to a partnership that is delivering well for all. Channel 4 as well as SBS Australia and SVT in Sweden reacted quickly to pretty when the opportunity arose, and the Spark Media team is delivering on time and to brief. When its predecessor, <em>Ancient Egypt by Train<\/em>, came through one of our Development Days last year, we were pretty confident of its success, and it\u2019s really encouraging to see audiences agree.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BossaNova Media and Channel 4 have joined forces to co-finance Spark Media\u2019s new premium history series Ottoman Empire by Train.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":19865,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[7203,6111,289,7817,3352,1581,7818,7819,527],"class_list":["post-19864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-alice-roberts","tag-bossanova-media","tag-channel-4","tag-ottoman-empire-by-train","tag-paul-heaney","tag-sbs-australia","tag-spark-media","tag-steve-havers","tag-svt","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BossaNova Co-Finances Ottoman Empire by Train - 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\/bossanova-co-finances-ottoman-empire-by-train\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BossaNova Co-Finances Ottoman Empire by Train - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BossaNova Media and Channel 4 have joined forces to co-finance Spark Media\u2019s new premium history series Ottoman Empire by Train.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bossanova-co-finances-ottoman-empire-by-train\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-07-13T13:00:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-07-13T13:00:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/BossaNovaMedia-OttomanEmpireByTrain-0723.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\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\/bossanova-co-finances-ottoman-empire-by-train\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bossanova-co-finances-ottoman-empire-by-train\/\",\"name\":\"BossaNova Co-Finances Ottoman Empire by Train - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-07-13T13:00:01+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-07-13T13:00:04+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bossanova-co-finances-ottoman-empire-by-train\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bossanova-co-finances-ottoman-empire-by-train\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bossanova-co-finances-ottoman-empire-by-train\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"BossaNova Co-Finances Ottoman Empire by Train\"}]},{\"@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\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
