DRG Takes Raw Cut's Road Wars To Fans Worldwide

Leading independent production company Raw Cut's smash-hit series Road Wars has been sold to territories worldwide - including Australia and Scandinavia - by leading independent TV distributor DRG.
DRG has inked deals for season six and seven of the popular show to channels including Australia's FOXTEL Crime and Investigation Network, the Swedish station TV4 Sport, Denmark's Canal 9 and RTL Nederlands.
A combination of observational documentary and action-packed archive footage, Road Wars follows elite units from two UK police forces. Series six accompanies Thames Valley Police's Road Crime Unit and the seventh series joins Devon and Cornwall Police's Road Crime Unit, Tactical Aid Group and the Dog Squad as they use high-spec vehicles to tackle some of Britain's most-wanted criminals, such as burglars and drug dealers. Road Wars also features footage from other police forces in the UK and worldwide.
Steve Warr, Managing Director of Raw Cut said: "Road Wars showcases the most unbelievable crimes, crashes and dangerous driving on the streets of the UK and around the world. The series has been hugely successful in the UK and I'm sure audiences worldwide will enjoy it just as much."
Patrick Roberts, SVP of Distribution at DRG, added: "Road Wars brings together a compelling and thrilling mix of high octane action footage and crime investigation. Currently in its seventh season, this long-running franchise has become a trusted must-buy for factual buyers all around the world."
