Orange Smarty links with Whitworth, Brown Bob

Inside the Spitfire Factory is currently airing on Channel 4

Orange Smarty, the independent UK factual distributor, has acquired a slate of new content through a series of development-stage investment deals with new and existing producer partners.

A new relationship with UK indie Whitworth Media brings history and engineering series Inside the Spitfire Factory (6×60’), currently airing on Channel 4 in the UK, to the Orange Smarty slate. The obs doc follows engineers, pilots and historians as they restore rusty remains of the Second World War fighter.

Orange Smarty has also entered into a distribution partnership with UK indie Brown Bob Productions on The Moment of Proof (15×30), a true crime series that premiered on BBC1 in January.

In a second development deal, Orange Smarty is partnering with Ireland-based production company Peninsula Films on a 26-part crime series for A+E Networks. The show, which has the working title Jealous Killers, will focus on cases involving the most prolific cause of relationship and spousal murder worldwide – jealousy.

More true crime content is in the pipeline through an existing relationship with Acme Films, which is in production on The Missing Files. The 2×90’ (3×60’ international version) series for Channel 5 looks in new detail at the abduction of schoolgirl Milly Dowler in 2002.
