C4 visits comedy, tattoo parlour

Channel 4’s youth-skewing network E4 has ordered a comedy series from Big Talk Productions, a reality show from Studio Lambert and a second season of hidden-camera show Bad Robots.

Big Talk is producing Crashing, written by and starring Broadchurch’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge, which explores the lives and loves of six young adults living together as property guardians in a disused hospital.

The series will air next year and is being produced by Josh Cole. It was commissioned by Channel 4 comedy commissioning editor Rachel Springett, with Kenton Allen, Big Talk’s CEO, executive producing.

Meanwhile, The Tattoo Fixers (8×60′, working title) comes from All3Media-owned Studio Lambert and follows three of the UK’s most talented tattoo artists.

It was originally commissioned as a one-off by Simone Haywood, Channel 4’s editor of formats, and Dom Bird, head of formats. It is now being made into a series executive produced by Tim Harcourt and produced by Matthew J Smith at Studio Lambert.

E4 will also air a second 6×30′ run of fellow All3 prodco Objective Productions’ hidden camera show Bad Robots, while Channel 4 has ordered weekday format Benchmark for this spring. The gameshow sees contestants answering questions to secure a cash prize, with the help of the public, and was created by Stuart Shawcross at Victory Television.

It was commissioned for Channel 4 by Syeda Irtizaali, with Victoria Ashbourne, Tamara Gilder and Shawcross exec producing.
