LONDON: Scripps Networks Interactive\u2019s Travel Channel has commissioned the tentatively titled Drive of My Life<\/em> for the U.K. and EMEA region.<\/p>\n

The new original series stars British comedian and TV presenter Paddy McGuinness, who takes celebrities on a journey through their past, driving to personal locations across the country and reuniting them with three cars they previously owned. Drive of My Life<\/em> is slated to air on Travel Channel in the fall. The ten-episode series is produced by Shiver.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrive of My Life<\/em> (working title) is a great example of our new reimagined original programming, that takes our viewers on an unexpected journey,\u201d said Kevin Dickie, the senior VP of channels at Scripps Networks, UK & EMEA. \u201cPaddy has the perfect blend of comic, engaging storytelling and great sense of adventure. I\u2019m delighted to welcome him to Travel Channel, and I\u2019m sure our audiences will welcome him too.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of Scripps Networks\u2019s refreshed commissioning strategy in the U.K. and EMEA, several titles, including Shed and Buried<\/em>, are set to return to Travel Channel this year. Produced by HCA Entertainment, Shed and Buried<\/em> follows petrol-head TV presenter Henry Cole and world-renowned vintage motorcycle builder Sam Lovegrove as they look for, purchase, rebuild and sell the U.K.\u2019s automotive gems that have been discarded and abandoned in sheds, barns, out-houses and garages across the country. The first ten episodes are slated to air in May, with the remaining 20 set for September. Scripps Networks is also partnering with HCA Entertainment on the return of Greatest Motorcycle Rides<\/em> for a 16th season.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Food Network, which premiered Paul Hollywood City Bakes<\/em> on April 18, greenlit a third season of Siba\u2019s Table<\/em>. South African chef Siba Mtongana returns for the ten-episode season, which is due to premiere later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re taking big swings with our 2016 regional commissioning strategy,\u201d remarked Phillip Luff, the managing director for the U.K. and EMEA at Scripps Networks Interactive. \u201cWe have a robust slate of bold, fresh and innovative programming fronted by some of the biggest EMEA talent, including Paul Hollywood and now Paddy McGuinness, and we believe they will draw mass audience appeal and resonate well with affiliates and clients alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new titles were\u00a0commissioned by Dickie and Gareth Williams, the VP of commissioning for Scripps Networks, UK & EMEA. In the U.K. and EMEA region, Scripps Networks distributes three lifestyle brands\u2014Food Network, Travel Channel and Fine Living\u2014on DTT and pay-TV platforms. Collectively, the brands are available in more than 130 countries and territories, with nine feeds broadcast in 22 languages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
