Channel 5 books luxury holiday special

Secrets of the Mega Resort from Brinkworth Television

UK broadcaster Channel 5 will air a 90-minute special going behind the scenes of the world’s biggest luxury holiday resort this Sunday.

From Brinkworth Television, Secrets of the Mega Resort centres on Baha Mar in the Bahamas, taking viewers inside the inner workings of the five-star hotel as it caters to 7,000 guests at a time.

The doc is the latest addition to a strand of 60- and 90-minute specials, including the Secrets of the Mega Cruise Ship, Secrets of the Airport, Secrets of the Long-haul Flight and Secrets of the Hospital.

Channel 5 commissioned Secrets of the Mega Resort and distributor Silverlining secured pre-sales for the show with SBS in Australia, RTL Netherlands and Medialaan Belgium at Mipcom last month.

“These behind-the-scenes documentaries make for enjoyable, engaging and informative television,” said Malcolm Brinkworth, executive producer and MD of Brinkworth Television.

“This is the fifth successful title that we’ve made for Channel 5 and international clients and the ongoing brand delivers warm-hearted, aspirational content, backed up by good characters and great access.”
