Leading UK-based distributor DCD Rights has secured a raft of sales for Perpetual Entertainment’s popular travel series Sue Perkins’ Big Adventure: Paris To Istanbul.

Produced for Channel 4 UK and ABC TV Australia, the 6 x 60’ factual series has sold to APT (USA), BBC Earth (Poland, Africa, Asia), NRK Norway, AMC Networks International Central and Northern Europe (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia), MAX (Netherlands), HRT Croatian Television, RUV (Iceland) and GBC (Gibraltar).

The accomplished presenter, writer, actor, director and comedian travels from Paris to Istanbul, embarking on an adventure tracking the famed train to the Orient, exploring vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes and the people who give each city its unique identity.

DCD Rights has also acquired a brand-new travel series by Perpetual Entertainment – Bill Bailey’s Vietnam Adventure (6 x 60’).  The award-winning comedian, raconteur and musician travels the length of modern Vietnam on the 50th anniversary of the dramatic withdrawal of the US forces from Saigon.

Nicky Davies Williams, CEO, DCD Rights, comments “We are seeing a huge amount of interest in talent-led travel series with our clients across all parts of the world.  These series are particularly popular when they are presented by hosts that are as charming and inquisitive as Sue and Bill.  It’s a real pleasure to see them engage with so many characters on their journey, discovering little known yet fascinating stories and locations that show these countries off to their very best.”
