ITV1 bolster daytime with new commissions

Comedian Rory Bremner and Loose Women panelist Lynda Bellingham have been hired for new ITV1 daytime shows.


Rory Bremner’s Great British Views, from Shiver Productions,  will see the comedian take in spectacular iconic views from around Great Britain.
Tasty Travels with Lynda Bellingham, from TwoFour, will see the actress travelling across the UK over the summer sampling some of the country’s best ingredients, hunting down long lost recipes and taking part in a variety of village fairs and fetes.

“Research tells us our viewers are looking for a rich palette of programming during the afternoons so I am delighted to bring these new commissions to the ITV1 Daytime schedule.” – ITV Director of Factual and Daytime, Alison Sharman

Completing the latest commissions, Dick and James Strawbridge (pictured) return for a second series of The Hungry Sailors from Denham Productions following a successful first run.
