UKTV Food Picks Up ShineReveille Series

LONDON, December 12: UKTV Food has bagged the exclusive U.K. TV rights for Spain…On the Road Again, featuring a culinary road trip around Spain, from ShineReveille.

Produced by Frappe Productions for PBS, Spain… On the Road Again sees actress Gwyneth Paltrow embark on a culinary journey alongside chef Mario Batali, New York Times food writer Mark Bittman and Spanish actress Claudia Bassols. In addition to being filmed by regular TV crews, a series of miniature cameras were mounted to cars to capture the group’s reactions as they traveled around Spain. The series will air on UKTV Food every weekday at 9 p.m. beginning January 5.

UKTV Food’s channel head, Richard Kingsbury, said, "We’re thrilled to have acquired this entertaining cookery series exclusively in the U.K. for UKTV Food. We’re confident this series will encourage more new viewers to sample the channel as its rare opportunity to see another side of Gwyneth, the Hollywood superstar, as she indulges her passion for Spanish food in between juggling family life back in Britain. Spain…On the Road Again is a vibrant and uplifting series and the perfect antidote to those post-Christmas blues."
