UKTV entertainment net Watch has ordered two new magic series featuring British illusionist Dynamo.
The diginet, 50/50 owned by the BBC and Scripps Networks Interactive, has sealed the deal with the conjuror otherwise known as Steven Frayne.
Watch last year scored a ratings success with Dynamo: Magician Impossible, a series that delivered UKTV its best performance for a new show in 2011 and features the magician apparently walking on London’s River Thames.
Two new 4×60’ series are now in development. Watch commissioning editor Richard Watsham and director of commissioning Jane Rogerson gave the green light. Phil McIntyre Entertainment and Inner Circle Films will again produce.
