"Sue Perkins´ big adventure: Paris to Istanbul"
UK-based distributor DCD Rights has secured a raft of sales for Perpetual Entertainment’s popular travel series "Sue Perkins’ Big Adventure: Paris to Istanbul." Produced for Channel 4 UK and ABC TV Australia, the 6 x 60’ factual series has been sold to APT (USA), BBC Earth (Poland, Africa, Asia), NRK Norway, AMC Networks International Central and Northern Europe (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia), MAX (Netherlands), HRT Croatian Television, RUV (Iceland), and GBC (Gibraltar).
The accomplished presenter, writer, actor, director, and comedian travels from Paris to Istanbul, embarking on an adventure tracing the famed train to the Orient. Along the way, she explores vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes, and the people who give each city its unique identity.
DCD Rights has also acquired a brand-new travel series by Perpetual Entertainment – "Bill Bailey’s Vietnam Adventure" (6 x 60’). The award-winning comedian, raconteur, and musician journeys the length of modern Vietnam on the 50th anniversary of the dramatic withdrawal of US forces from Saigon.
Nicky Davies Williams, CEO, DCD Rights, highlighted the global interest in travel series: ‘We are seeing a huge amount of interest in talent-led travel series with our clients across all parts of the world. These series are particularly popular when they are presented by hosts as charming and inquisitive as Sue and Bill. It’s a real pleasure to see them engage with so many characters on their journey, discovering little-known yet fascinating stories and locations that show these countries off to their very best," commented.
Comedian, author, and TV host Sue Perkins sets out across Europe in "Sue Perkins’ Big Adventure: Paris To Istanbul" to soak in the cultures and vitality of the continent in a modern version of the Grand Tour… only to find her preferred mode of transport, the famed train to the Orient, has departed without her! At £19,000 a ticket for the seat from Paris to Istanbul to watch Europe whizz by (albeit in grand style), Sue has set herself up for the immersive trip of a lifetime, taking the route her own way using trains, buses, cabs, boats, and even the occasional shanks’ pony.
In "Bill Bailey’s Vietnam Adventure," Bill immerses himself in Vietnam’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and complex history as he uncovers what makes this fascinating country tick. From the centuries-old hill tribes of the north to the bustling markets of Ho Chi Minh City and the breathtaking hidden beaches of Ha Long Bay, Bill shows that there is so much more to this country than a legacy of war and conflict. Vietnam is a country that is always looking forward despite its past. Vietnam is unpredictable, chaotic, and - at times - infuriatingly bureaucratic... but these are things Bill embraces on a journey no ordinary traveler would dare undertake beyond the tourist trails.
