ITV heads Inside The Langham Hotel – Silverlining secures slew of pre-sales for Pixie Productions

Pixie Productions has tied with independent production finance broker and distributor Silverlining Rights for a six-part series on The Langham hotel for ITV.

Silverlining brokered the ITV deal, securing additional financing from pre-sales to TV2 in Denmark and SBS in Australia. The series is also supported by the Welsh Government via Creative Wales.

Inside The Langham: Britain’s First Grand Hotel has exclusive access to the staff and guests of the luxury hotel in central London as it prepares for its 160thanniversary.

The doc will explore the hotel’s expansive dining operations with its five kitchens under the watchful eye of culinary director and chef Michel Roux Jr., Michelin-starred cuisine while catering for wedding celebrations and dinner events for hundreds of guests.

Viewers will also travel to Venice with the hotel’s senior managers to inspect the new Langham Hotel being created on the site of a historic Murano glass factory, to ensure it maintains the luxury standards its forebear is known for.

Pixie Productions’ chief executive Connie Fisher said:” The Langham is one of Britain’s most iconic hotels, and it was fascinating to see how five-star luxury is delivered at such scale.”

Fisher produces the doc, which is directed and exec produced by Tim Green. It was commissioned for ITV by Jo Clinton Davis, controller of factual ITV.

Silverlining Rights’ founder and managing director Bethan Corney added: “Pulling together financing from multiple partners around the world to get the series funded and into production is a complex business but Silverlining’s model is proving successful for many UK indies, and particularly where it is such a sellable project from a top-quality team like Pixie Productions.”
