This includes<em> Heston\u2019s Dinner in Space<\/em> and<em> Inside Heston\u2019s World<\/em>. In addition to partnering with Blumenthal, the TMM team has worked across a number of high-profile food titles, including <em>Masterchef<\/em> and <em>Saturday Kitchen<\/em>. The company was founded in 2014 by BAFTA-, Emmy- and RTS award-winning director Jay Taylor.<\/p>\n<p>Katy Cundall, the senior VP of acquisitions at DRG, said: \u201cJay and Alison are a formidable team and really know what it takes to engage an audience. TMM\u2019s productions sit in an interesting space between conventional factual and entertainment and allow us to take something very different out to the international marketplace. There is a\u00a0brilliant slate of projects already in development and I can\u2019t wait to see what other new ideas evolve over time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDRG has represented some of Thoroughly Modern Media\u2019s titles over the past year or so and we have used that time wisely, really getting to know each other well. We are confident that this slow \u2018courtship\u2019 is the perfect foundation for a successful and enduring relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taylor, Thoroughly Modern Media\u2019s managing director, added: \u201cDRG has proved itself in securing excellent deals for our existing content but it was the team\u2019s industry knowledge, passion for TV and it\u2019s wholehearted support for our future ambitions that makes them such a good fit for us in the longer term. We thoroughly enjoy working with Katy and the team, we value their creative and commercial input and genuinely believe that this new partnership with DRG will play an instrumental role in helping to develop and grow our business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: DRG has entered into a two-year first-look deal with factual producer Thoroughly Modern Media (TMM).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":9308,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[367,1629],"class_list":["post-9307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-drg","tag-thoroughly-modern-media","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
