UK-based distributor DCD Rights has acquired worldwide distribution rights for Prue & Sandi’s South African Adventure (6×60’).
The new travel entertainment series produced by Yeti in association with Channel 4. Fronted by longtime friends Prue Leith (The Great British Bake Off, Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen) and BAFTA-nominated Sandi Toksvig (QI, Extraordinary Escapes), the series follows the duo on a deeply personal journey across South Africa, from Cape Town, where Leith was born, to Johannesburg, where she grew up.
Packed full of fascinating takeout and personal anecdotes, each episode explores the history, nature, politics, culture and food of the places they visit. There’s hands-on activity, from wine sabrage to fishing, as they’re guided by fascinating locals, artisans and experts.
Nicky Davies Williams, CEO, DCD Rights, comments, “We are delighted to have this new travel series with great friends Prue and Sandi, blending their aspirational journey across South Africa with sharing their personal memories and love of history and culture. We are certain it will be an international success with its careful balance of engaging personalities and cultural insights.”
