DCD Media plc ("DCD Media" or the "Company") Major New TV Production
DCD Media plc, the arts, entertainment and drama television production and distribution group, is delighted to announce that Iambic Productions, a wholly owned subsidiary, has completed an agreement with ITV for the production of a new two-part Saturday night prime time entertainment series.
This is the biggest commission for Iambic Productions to date and is likely to generate among its highest turnover from a single project, after exploitation of the international distribution rights.
The 2 x 1 hour programmes, created by Iambic and provisionally entitled "The Truth About Boy Bands," are tentatively scheduled for screening on ITV 1 in June and chart the rise and fall of boy bands over the last forty years. From the early examples of The Monkees, The Jacksons and The Osmonds, through to the recent eras of Boyzone, NSYNC, New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys and the revival of Take That, Iambic's new series lifts the veil on the gritty reality of these, and other, iconic all male groups over the last four decades. "The Truth About Boy Bands" features new interviews and commentary from over twenty industry moguls and artists themselves.
It was initially anticipated that this project would consist of only one programme, however it has subsequently increased in size with the addition of a further episode.
