BossaNova Media, the content creation, funding, and distribution company, has acquired the rights to three new celebrity-led factual entertainment lifestyle series: "Martin Compston Living Las Vegas", "Guy Martin: Proper Jobs", and "Katie Piper’s Weekend Escape". Let’s take a closer look at each of them.
Produced by Zinc Media’s Tern TV for Channel 4 in the UK, "Martin Compston Living Las Vegas" (3 x 60 mins) follows the Scottish actor and former professional footballer as he offers an insider’s tour of his adopted city. Best known for his role as Detective Inspector Steve Arnott in the hit BBC drama "Line of Duty", Compston has lived in Las Vegas for the past decade. Across three one-hour episodes, he reveals the real Vegas, sharing Sin City’s best-kept culinary and cultural secrets, and introducing viewers to millionaires, high rollers, tourists, as well as the slot-machine engineers, hotel staff, and entertainers who make Las Vegas one of the most iconic destinations in the world.
Secondly, North One’s "Guy Martin: Proper Jobs" (4 x 60 mins), produced for U and Dave in the UK, dives into hands-on work that demands specialist expertise, physical grit, and determination — what motorcycle racer, truck mechanic, part-time farmer, and engineer Guy Martin calls ‘proper jobs’. In each episode, Martin immerses himself in four challenging and often dangerous professions, including working as a trawler deckhand, a wildlife warden, a firefighter, and a mountain-rescue dog handler. Each episode culminates in a performance review judged by professionals in the field, based on a single question: has he done well enough to be offered a proper job?
Finally, "Katie Piper’s Weekend Escape" (22 x 60 mins) is a new long-running series from Phoenix Television, hosted by bestselling author, broadcaster, and charity campaigner Katie Piper. Set in an exclusive retreat in a quintessentially English area of outstanding natural beauty, each episode features Katie and a celebrity guest trying out new pamper treatments and wellness activities. Beyond its lifestyle appeal, the series also includes emotionally resonant human-interest stories, highlighting individuals who have overcome adversity or made a significant impact in their communities.
