Foxtel, UKTV join Parade’s Stein show

Jack Stein: Inside the Box

Australian pay TV operator Foxtel and UK multichannel broadcaster UKTV have linked up with Singapore- and London-based distributor Parade Media on a culinary adventure show.

Jack Stein: Inside the Box (10×30′) will follow the chef, son of celebrity cook Rick Stein, as he visits 10 cities around the world, sharing the history and flavours of quintessential English dishes.

The show has been developed and created by Parade, Australian indie Projucer and Stein. It was ordered by Foxtel for its Lifestyle channel, with investment from UKTV, and is slated to air early 2019.

The deal was brokered by UKTV acquisitions manager Charlie Charalambous and Parade Media CEO Matthew Ashcroft. Parade will handle global distribution.

Ashcroft, formerly with Shine International, set up Parade in 2015, as revealed by C21.
