IWC puts Van Gogh in the frame for Sky Arts

Boswell & Johnson’s Scottish Road Trip with Frank Skinner and Denise Mina

UK pay TV satcaster Sky Arts has greenlit two factual shows from Banijay-backed prodco IWC centring on writer Samuel Johnson and the work of painter Vincent Van Gogh.

Boswell & Johnson’s Scottish Road Trip with Frank Skinner & Denise Mina and Van Gogh: An Exclusive View – from Tate Britain will both be produced by the London-based firm

Kate Bryan

In Boswell & Johnson’s Scottish Road Trip (3×60’), comedian Skinner and novelist Mina will recreate the famous Grand Tour of Scotland completed in 1773 by Johnson, writer and creator of the first great English dictionary, and his young Scottish friend James Boswell.

Van Gogh: An Exclusive View – from Tate Britain is a 1×60’ special which sees IWC collaborate with the Tate and Sky Arts once again, following the success of 2018’s Picasso Live from Tate Modern.

Presented by curator and broadcaster Kate Bryan, it will be an access-all-areas look at the Tate’s upcoming Van Gogh exhibition, which will showcase the Dutch artist’s time in Britain.

Both will be executive produced by Franny Moyle for IWC and distributed globally by Banijay Rights.
