Re Contract

To be embargoed until 3 November 2005 at 7.00am Talent Group plc ('Talent' or 'the Company') New Contract Talent Television Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Talent, has been commissioned by ITV1 to produce 'Must See TV', a 7 times 30-minute series, celebrating hit shows from British Television. 'Must See TV' is a presenter-led series looking at some of ITV's landmark shows, with each programme hosted by a different celebrity `fan' who will examine why each programme became such a huge hit. The first episode is entitled The Avengers presented by Joan Collins and other episodes in the run include Kenny Everett presented by Julian Clary, Tommy Cooper presented by Sir Trevor McDonald and The Sweeney presented by Bradley Walsh. Talent's creative director John Kaye Cooper will produce the series and Talent's managing director Tony Humphreys will be the executive producer. Each episode will feature clips from the original programmes, contributions from the original stars and writers and producers of the show and accolades from the presenter. Tony Humphreys, Talent TV's Managing Director said: 'Must See TV is a fun, lively look back at some of Britain's best-loved programmes. There is a definite appetite for nostalgia programming and the combination of celebrity and iconic shows should be a real draw for viewers.'
