Fremantle makes a splash with Silver River
MIPCOM NEWS: Fremantle International Distribution (FID) has signed a long-term distribution deal with Silver River Productions, the new UK production outfit set up by former TalkBack editorial director Daisy Goodwin.
Under the terms of the three-year arrangement, FID will have rights to sell all formats and finished shows from Silver River, which was set up in July by Goodwin and comedy producer Harry Thompson.
The deal also entitles FremantleMedia to produce all Silver River's shows outside the UK, although Goodwin will take an executive producer role in English-speaking markets. FID also gains overseas ancillary rights.
Goodwin's credits during her time at TalkBack include How Clean Is Your House, Grand Designs, Sex Inspectors and Jamie's Kitchen. Thompson's include BBC3 comedy Monkey Dust and Channel 4's Da Ali G Show.
Silver River will specialise in drama, factual entertainment, features, comedy and documentaries and has already secured a number of commissions in the UK from broadcasters including Channel 4 and Five.
