Zinc Media secures largest ever volume series commission

Zinc Media stated its Red Sauce subsidiary will scale up both its London and Manchester production and development teams following the confirmation of a "significant" volume of commissions.

The AIM-listed company said it had been commissioned by Channel 5 to make 52 hours of programming, the largest volume deal ever received by a Zinc Media label.

Red Sauce will work with Channel 5 to make Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun - Costa Living, an observational documentary series that charts the lives of UK citizens living in Spain.

Elsewhere, Red Sauce has also secured a 10-part series commission from Dave for a programme titled Special Ops: Crime Squad UK.
