Viacom International Studios UK has scored its first commission for a non-Viacom network with a two-part train doc series.
The production division, which was formerly known as Elephant House Studios, is making Trevor McDonald’s Indian Train Adventure for ITV, a rival to its sibling network C5.
Viacom International Studios UK had previously only produced for its own channels including C5, Comedy Central and MTV and the move is the latest example of an in-house studio making shows for third parties.
The two-parter will follow newsreader McDonald as he travels from Mumbai to Delhi on a luxurious train. He will disembark to meet people from all walks of life and gain an insight into modern India across the thousand-mile journey.
The series, which will be distributed by Viacom International Media Networks’ content sales division, was commissioned by Jo Clinton-Davis, ITV Controller of Factual, and Sue Murphy, ITV Head of Factual Entertainment.
