"Billy and Dom Eat the World"
Actors Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan, stars of cinema blockbuster trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" have reunited to present "Billy and Dom Eat the World" a fun-packed, six-part travel and food series globally distributed by Abacus Media Rights. The two real-life best friends have now travelled the globe on a string of exciting adventures discovering fascinating food and quirky secrets in six very different and special locations.
The series is produced by Dash Pictures, executive produced by Daniel Sharp, Martin Blencowe, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan and it is currently in post-production and will officially launch at MIPCOM ‘24.
Daniel Sharp says, “It’s been a pleasure working with Billy and Dom to bring this idea to life. They both have this genuine passion for food, travel and an insatiable appetite to discover new things and meet new people. We’re excited to share the trailer which gives a small glimpse of the show and everything that’s on offer for potential buyers.”
Jonathan Ford, Managing Director AMR says, “Daniel and the team at Dash Pictures have an innate ability to create unscripted programming that really hits the sweet spot. Their series are always individual, intriguing and internationally appealing and we’re delighted to be representing a food and travel show presented by these exuberant and universally loved stars.”
Dominic Monaghan comments, “Billy and I have always explored places we’ve visited through food and also included each location in our podcasts, which seemed to be well received by the listeners. It felt about as natural as it can be to then build on these podcasts and create a TV show travelling the world and stuffing our faces with tasty treats. Two of our favourite things to do!”
Billy Boyd added, "Dom and I wanted to tell interesting, honest stories in the series, whilst discovering some great cooking tips and secrets to pass on. We met so many wonderful people and heard their stories, from the sisters keeping the family business alive making black pudding in the Outer Hebrides, to a wonderful married couple and their delicious street food in Fukuoka, Japan. Seeing the different ways people make and eat food and how that creates a community has been such an amazing adventure, we can’t wait for people to see the show."
