The production is his first major project since joining from ITV in the summer. MacDonald is best known for commissioning C4 series Come Dine With Me and Deal or No Deal. IWC's Susy Price will produce the new series. Since first airing on Fuji, Iron Chef has also gone to Food Network in the US where it has become a popular primetime show. IWC has international format rights to the UK show and is seeking more international broadcast partners. Jesse Whittock 10 Dec 2009 © C21 Media 2009
