C5 claims user-generated duo

Channel 5 in the UK has commissioned two user-generated content series to air later this year, with one focusing on animals and the other on moments of danger.

The first series (title TBC) pulls together an array of animal-themed clips from the internet, with each hour-long episode combining amateur footage with comical narration. It follows a one-off special on cats that aired on C5 in January in a similar format.

Meanwhile, World’s Angriest: Caught on Camera (8×60′) will feature everyday scenarios that escalate, followed by investigations of what happened by those at the scene. The show follows on from Angry Brits: Caught on Camera, which aired in summer 2014.

Both shows are being produced by Tinopolis-owned UK prodco Mentorn Media and have been commissioned by Michelle Chappell, commissioning editor of factual, news and current affairs for C5. Kat Lennox is exec producer and Ben Rigden is series editor for Mentorn.
